Add new string functions strict_strto* and convert kernel params to use them
Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and 1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input is acctually invalid. This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and returns an error: write error: Invalid argument Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of simple_strtox to reject any invalid input. Here are some test results: Before applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000g > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000gggggggg > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0100008 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000aaaaa > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# After applying this patch: [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000g > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0x1000gggggggg > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 0100008 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo 010000aaaaa > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# echo -n 4096 > /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak [root@yangyi-dev /]# cat /sys/module/e1000/parameters/copybreak 4096 [root@yangyi-dev /]# [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix compiler warnings] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix off-by-one found by tiwai@suse.de] Signed-off-by: Yi Yang <yi.y.yang@intel.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: "Randy.Dunlap" <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Cc: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
