Subject: [PATCH] Revert "kernel/reboot.c: convert simple_strtoul to kstrtoint"
References: bsc#1179418
Git-commit: 8b92c4ff4423aa9900cf838d3294fcade4dbda35
Patch-mainline: v5.10-rc4
Patch series "fix parsing of reboot= cmdline", v3.
The parsing of the reboot= cmdline has two major errors:
- a missing bound check can crash the system on reboot
- parsing of the cpu number only works if specified last
Fix both.
This patch (of 2):
This reverts commit 616feab753972b97.
kstrtoint() and simple_strtoul() have a subtle difference which makes
them non interchangeable: if a non digit character is found amid the
parsing, the former will return an error, while the latter will just
stop parsing, e.g. simple_strtoul("123xyx") = 123.
The kernel cmdline reboot= argument allows to specify the CPU used for
rebooting, with the syntax `s####` among the other flags, e.g.
"reboot=warm,s31,force", so if this flag is not the last given, it's
silently ignored as well as the subsequent ones.
