This patch replaces the code for getting an number from a userspace buffer by a simple call to kstrou8_from_user. This makes it easier to read and less error prone. v2: removed initialization of reg_val and dropped check if count < 1 Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@xxxxxx> --- @Alexey: Thanks for the review/feedback! drivers/video/via/viafbdev.c | 34 ++++++++++++---------------------- 1 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/video/via/viafbdev.c b/drivers/video/via/viafbdev.c index a13c258..88bf5ba 100644 --- a/drivers/video/via/viafbdev.c +++ b/drivers/video/via/viafbdev.c @@ -1279,17 +1279,12 @@ static int viafb_dfph_proc_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) static ssize_t viafb_dfph_proc_write(struct file *file, const char __user *buffer, size_t count, loff_t *pos) { - char buf[20]; - u8 reg_val = 0; - unsigned long length; - if (count < 1) - return -EINVAL; - length = count > 20 ? 20 : count; - if (copy_from_user(&buf[0], buffer, length)) - return -EFAULT; - buf[length - 1] = '\0'; /*Ensure end string */ - if (kstrtou8(buf, 0, ®_val) < 0) - return -EINVAL; + int err; + u8 reg_val; + err = kstrtou8_from_user(buffer, count, 0, ®_val); + if (err) + return err; + viafb_write_reg_mask(CR97, VIACR, reg_val, 0x0f); return count; } @@ -1319,17 +1314,12 @@ static int viafb_dfpl_proc_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) static ssize_t viafb_dfpl_proc_write(struct file *file, const char __user *buffer, size_t count, loff_t *pos) { - char buf[20]; - u8 reg_val = 0; - unsigned long length; - if (count < 1) - return -EINVAL; - length = count > 20 ? 20 : count; - if (copy_from_user(&buf[0], buffer, length)) - return -EFAULT; - buf[length - 1] = '\0'; /*Ensure end string */ - if (kstrtou8(buf, 0, ®_val) < 0) - return -EINVAL; + int err; + u8 reg_val; + err = kstrtou8_from_user(buffer, count, 0, ®_val); + if (err) + return err; + viafb_write_reg_mask(CR99, VIACR, reg_val, 0x0f); return count; } -- 1.7.3.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
