[patch] thermal: underflow in trip_point_temp_store()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is to address a static checker warning about an underflow in
imx_set_trip_temp().  The checker is complaining that we have a user
supplied value for "temp" from kstrtoul() where we treat it as signed,
we cap the upper but we accept negative values.

This looks unintentional since the caller is using unsigned longs to
represent the temperature.  Let's change it to int and reject negatives
in the caller.

Also I changed it to reject negative "trip" values as well.

Someday we will use super cooled CPUs and we will need to rethink this
code.  :)
