Thanks, new patch follows,
Dan

------snip------>
Subject: md: raid5.c convert simple_strtoul to strict_strtoul

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>

strict_strtoul handles the open-coded sanity checks in
raid5_store_stripe_cache_size and raid5_store_preread_threshold

Acked-by: NeilBrown <neilb@xxxxxxx>
