The patch titled Subject: parse_integer: convert mm/ has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is parse_integer-convert-mm.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/parse_integer-convert-mm.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/parse_integer-convert-mm.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: parse_integer: convert mm/ Convert mm/ directory away from deprecated simple_strto*() interface. One thing to note about parse_integer() and seemingly useless casts -- range of accepted values depends on result type. int val; parse_integer(s, 0, &val); will accept negative integers, while int val; parse_integer(s, 0, (unsigned int *)&val); will accept only 0 and positive integers. Cast is needed when result variable has to be of different type for some reason. This is very important and hopefully [knocks wood] obvious.
