From 488dac0c9237647e9b8f788b6a342595bfa40bda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yicong Yang Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2020 22:17:19 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] libfs: fix error cast of negative value in simple_attr_write() The attr->set() receive a value of u64, but simple_strtoll() is used for doing the conversion. It will lead to the error cast if user inputs a negative value. Use kstrtoull() instead of simple_strtoll() to convert a string got from the user to an unsigned value. The former will return '-EINVAL' if it gets a negetive value, but the latter can't handle the situation correctly. Make 'val' unsigned long long as what kstrtoull() takes, this will eliminate the compile warning on no 64-bit architectures.
