Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2014 13:04:28 -0500 From: Tom Lendacky <thomas.lendacky@....com> To: <netdev@...r.kernel.org> CC: <davem@...emloft.net> Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/5] amd-xgbe: Fix debugfs compatibility change with kstrtouint The initial change from sscanf to kstrtouint broke backward compatbility by using a base of "0" in the kstrtouint call. This allowed for entering decimal, hexadecimal or octal as input where previously the sscanf always interpreted the input as hexadecimal. Additionally, -EIO was returned on error prior to this change and now it is whatever the error value that is returned by kstrtouint. Change the base value of the kstrtouint from 0 to 16 and return -EIO on error.
