Commitea8c5356d3("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.
