bcache: fix error setting writeback_rate through sysfs interface
Commit ea8c5356 ("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.
