Current code already uses d_strtoul_nonzero() to convert input string to an unsigned integer, to make sure writeback_rate_p_term_inverse won't be zero value. But overflow may happen when converting input string to an unsigned integer value by d_strtoul_nonzero(), then dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse can still be set to 0 even if the sysfs file input value is not zero, e.g. 4294967296 (a.k.a UINT_MAX+1). If dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse is set to 0, it might cause a dev-zero error in following code from __update_writeback_rate(), int64_t proportional_scaled = div_s64(error, dc->writeback_rate_p_term_inverse); This patch replaces d_strtoul_nonzero() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() and limit the value range in [1, UINT_MAX]. Then the unsigned integer overflow and dev-zero error can be avoided. Signed-off-by: Coly Li <colyli@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
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.
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.
