The patch titled vsprintf: reuse almost identical simple_strtoulX() functions has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was vsprintf-reuse-almost-identical-simple_strtoulx-functions.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: vsprintf: reuse almost identical simple_strtoulX() functions From: André Goddard Rosa <andre.goddard@xxxxxxxxx> The difference between simple_strtoul() and simple_strtoull() is just the size of the variable used to keep track of the sum of characters converted to numbers: unsigned long simple_strtoul() {...} unsigned long long simple_strtoull(){...} Both are same size on my Core 2/gcc 4.4.1. Overflow condition is not checked on both functions, so an extremely large string can break these functions so that they don't even notice it. As we do not care for overflowing on these functions, always keep the sum using the larger variable around (unsigned long long) on simple_strtoull() and cast it to (unsigned long) on simple_strtoul(), which then becomes just a wrapper around simple_strtoull().
