The valid values of nfs options port and mountport are 0 to

The fs parser will return a fail for port values that are
negative
and the sloppy option handling then returns success.

But the sloppy option handling is meant to return success for
invalid
options not valid options with invalid values.

Parsing these values as s32 rather than u32 prevents the parser
from
returning a parse fail allowing the later USHRT_MAX option check
to
correctly return a fail in this case. The result check could be
changed
to use the int_32 union variant as well but leaving it as a
uint_32
check avoids using two logical compares instead of one.

Why don't we just check for the ENOPARAM return value from
fs_parse()?
In this case I think the return will be EINVAL.
My point is that 'sloppy' is only supposed to work to suppress the
error in the case where an option is not found by the parser. That
corresponds to the error ENOPARAM.

Well, yes, and that's why ENOPARAM isn't returned and shouldn't be.

And if the sloppy option is given it doesn't get to check the value

of the option, it just returns success which isn't right.



I think that's a bit to general for this case.

This seemed like the most sensible way to fix it.

Your patch works around just one symptom of the problem instead of
addressing the root cause.

Ok, how do you recommend I fix this?
