c->error_limit is in type unsigned int, it is set via cache set sysfs file io_error_limit. Inside the bcache code, input string is converted by strtoul_or_return() and set the converted value to c->error_limit. Because the converted value is unsigned long, and c->error_limit is unsigned int, if the input is large enought, overflow will happen to c->error_limit. This patch uses sysfs_strtoul_clamp() to convert input string, and set the range in [0, UINT_MAX] to avoid the potential overflow.

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.
