[PATCH] init: Replace simple_strtoul with kstrtoul to improve lpj_setup
Posted by Thorsten Blum 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Replace simple_strtoul() with the recommended kstrtoul() for parsing the
'lpj=' boot parameter.

Check the return value of kstrtoul() and reject invalid values. This
adds error handling while preserving existing behavior for valid values,
and removes use of the deprecated simple_strtoul() helper.
