4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 596b5a5dd1bc2fa019fdaaae522ef331deef927f ] Currently sysfs_strtoul_clamp() is defined as, 82 #define sysfs_strtoul_clamp(file, var, min, max) \ 83 do { \ 84 if (attr == &sysfs_ ## file) \ 85 return strtoul_safe_clamp(buf, var, min, max) \ 86 ?: (ssize_t) size; \ 87 } while (0) The problem is, if bit width of var is less then unsigned long, min and max may not protect var from integer overflow, because overflow happens in strtoul_safe_clamp() before checking min and max. To fix such overflow in sysfs_strtoul_clamp(), to make min and max take effect, this patch adds an unsigned long variable, and uses it to macro strtoul_safe_clamp() to convert an unsigned long value in range defined by [min, max]. Then assign this value to var. By this method, if bit width of var is less than unsigned long, integer overflow won't happen before min and max are checking. Now sysfs_strtoul_clamp() can properly handle smaller data type like unsigned int, of cause min and max should be defined in range of unsigned int too.
