dc->writeback_rate_minimum is type unsigned integer variable, it is set via sysfs interface, and converte from input string to unsigned integer by d_strtoul_nonzero(). When the converted input value is larger than UINT_MAX, overflow to unsigned integer happens. This patch fixes the overflow by using sysfs_strotoul_clamp() to convert input string and limit the value in range [1, UINT_MAX], then the overflow can be avoided.

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.
