[PATCH v2] pwm: improve args checking in pwm_apply_state()

From: Brian Norris
Date: Fri May 27 2016 - 12:45:58 EST


It seems like in the process of refactoring pwm_config() to utilize the
newly-introduced pwm_apply_state() API, some args/bounds checking was
dropped.

In particular, I noted that we are now allowing invalid period
selections. e.g.:

# echo 1 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export
# cat /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm1/period
100
# echo 101 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm1/duty_cycle
[... driver may or may not reject the value, or trigger some logic bug ...]

It's better to see:

# echo 1 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/export
# cat /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm1/period
100
# echo 101 > /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/pwm1/duty_cycle
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This patch reintroduces some bounds checks in both pwm_config() (for its
signed parameters; we don't want to convert negative values into large
unsigned values) and in pwm_apply_state() (which fix the above described
behavior, as well as other potential API misuses).

v2:
* changed subject, as this covers more scope now
* add Fixes tag, as this is a v4.7-rc regression
* add more bounds/args checks in pwm_apply_state() and pwm_config()
