[PATCH 02/11] bcache: fix input overflow to sequential_cutoff

From: Coly Li <hidden>
Date: 2018-12-23 11:10:26
Subsystem: bcache (block layer cache), the rest · Maintainers: Coly Li, Kent Overstreet, Linus Torvalds

People may set sequential_cutoff of a cached device via sysfs file,
but current code does not check input value overflow. E.g. if value
4294967295 (UINT_MAX) is written to file sequential_cutoff, its value
is 4GB, but if 4294967296 (UINT_MAX + 1) is written into, its value
will be 0. This is an unexpected behavior.

This patch replaces d_strtoi_h() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() to convert
input string to unsigned integer value, and limit its range in
[0, UINT_MAX]. Then the input overflow can be fixed.
