[PATCH v5 2/5] lib: fix memparse() to handle overflow

From: Dmitry Antipov

Date: Wed Feb 04 2026 - 09:09:36 EST


Since '_parse_integer_limit()' (and so 'simple_strtoull()') is now
capable to handle overflow, adjust 'memparse()' to handle overflow
(denoted by ULLONG_MAX) returned from 'simple_strtoull()'. Also
use 'check_shl_overflow()' to catch an overflow possibly caused
by processing size suffix and denote it with ULLONG_MAX as well.
