[patch added to the 3.12 stable tree] hwmon: (gpio-fan) Prevent overflow problem when writing large limits

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

 



From: Axel Lin <axel.lin@xxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

commit 2565fb05d1e9fc0831f7b1c083bcfcb1cba1f020 upstream.

On platforms with sizeof(int) < sizeof(unsigned long), writing a rpm value
larger than MAXINT will result in unpredictable limit values written to the
chip. Avoid auto-conversion from unsigned long to int to fix the problem.
