This patch converts the code to use kstrtou32() instead of simple_strtoul() which is deprecated. The real size of the variables are u32, so use kstrtou32 instead of kstrtoul Signed-off-by: Aristeu Rozanski --- security/device_cgroup.c | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) Index: github/security/device_cgroup.c =================================================================== --- github.orig/security/device_cgroup.c 2012-08-21 10:51:05.751689805 -0400 +++ github/security/device_cgroup.c 2012-08-21 10:51:15.015951623 -0400 @@ -361,8 +361,8 @@ int filetype, const char *buffer) { const char *b; - char *endp; - int count; + char temp[12]; /* 11 + 1 characters needed for a u32 */ + int count, rc; struct dev_whitelist_item wh; if (!capable(CAP_SYS_ADMIN)) @@ -405,8 +405,16 @@ wh.major = ~0; b++; } else if (isdigit(*b)) { - wh.major = simple_strtoul(b, &endp, 10); - b = endp; + memset(temp, 0, sizeof(temp)); + for (count = 0; count < sizeof(temp) - 1; count++) { + temp[count] = *b; + b++; + if (!isdigit(*b)) + break; + } + rc = kstrtou32(temp, 10, &wh.major); + if (rc) + return -EINVAL; } else { return -EINVAL; } @@ -419,8 +427,16 @@ wh.minor = ~0; b++; } else if (isdigit(*b)) { - wh.minor = simple_strtoul(b, &endp, 10); - b = endp; + memset(temp, 0, sizeof(temp)); + for (count = 0; count < sizeof(temp) - 1; count++) { + temp[count] = *b; + b++; + if (!isdigit(*b)) + break; + } + rc = kstrtou32(temp, 10, &wh.minor); + if (rc) + return -EINVAL; } else { return -EINVAL; } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
