commit e94d91a6eb155ff77110863d15ba51b3c6b5c548
atm: solos-pci: Replace simple_strtol by kstrtoint
causes access to any solos parameters under /sys/class/atm/solos-pci[n]/parameters
to fail, for example:
root@solos:/sys/class/atm/solos-pci0/parameters# cat State
cat: State: Input/output error
loading the module with atmdebug=1 shows that communication with the
card is working

and we're receiving the expected response.
The reason is in the following section
@@ -428,7 +432,9 @@ static int process_command(struct solos_card *card, int port, struct sk_buff *sk
skb->data[6] != '\n')
return 0;
- cmdpid = simple_strtol(&skb->data[1], NULL, 10);
+ err = kstrtoint(&skb->data[1], 10, &cmdpid);
+ if (err)
+ return err;
spin_lock_irqsave(&card->param_queue_lock, flags);
list_for_each_entry(prm, &card->param_queue, list) {
as kstrtoint want's the input string to be as follows:
"The string must be null-terminated, and may also include a single
newline before its terminating null. The first character may also be
a plus sign or a minus sign."
this usage of kstrtoint will always fail as what's being passed in is
not a simple null terminated string, rather it's a multi-value string
where each value is seperated with newlines.
Reverting the patch sorts it, but doesn't really seem like the right
thing to do.
