Commit ea8c5356d390 ("bcache: set max writeback rate when I/O request
is idle") changes struct bch_ratelimit member rate from uint32_t to
atomic_long_t and uses atomic_long_set() in drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c
to set new writeback rate, after the input is converted from memory
buf to long int by sysfs_strtoul_clamp().
The above change has a problem because there is an implicit return
inside sysfs_strtoul_clamp() so the following atomic_long_set()
won't be called. This error is detected by 0day system with following
snipped smatch warnings:
drivers/md/bcache/sysfs.c:271 __cached_dev_store() error: uninitialized
symbol 'v'.
270 sysfs_strtoul_clamp(writeback_rate, v, 1, INT_MAX);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
@271 atomic_long_set(&dc->writeback_rate.rate, v);
This patch fixes the above error by using strtoul_safe_clamp() to
convert the input buffer into a long int type result.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
