[PATCH RFC 2/3] lib: test-kstrtox: add E notation tests for kstrto[u]dec64()

From: Rodrigo Alencar via B4 Relay

Date: Thu Oct 01 2026 - 11:46:20 EST


From: Rodrigo Alencar <rodrigo.alencar@xxxxxxxxxx>

Cover E notation parsing in kstrtoudec64() and kstrtodec64(): positive,
zero and negative exponents, upper case 'E', an explicit '+' sign,
truncation of integer digits by negative exponents, large values, and
failures for overflowing or incomplete exponents.
