[PATCH v2 0/3] Make sscanf() stricter

From: Demi Marie Obenour
Date: Sat Jun 10 2023 - 13:08:16 EST


Roger Pau Monné suggested making xenbus_scanf() stricter instead of
using a custom parser. Christoph Hellwig asked why the normal vsscanf()
cannot be made stricter. Richard Weinberger mentioned Linus Torvalds’s
suggestion of using ! to allow overflow.

Changes since v1:

- Better commit messages.
- Use ! to explicitly opt-in to allowing overflow.
- Treat overflow as a conversion failure instead of returning ERANGE.
- Drop the first patch (removal of simple_strtoll()) as it breaks
bcache.
- Stop skipping spaces in vsscanf() instead of adding a separate
vsscanf_strict() function.

vsscanf(): Integer overflow is a conversion failure
vsscanf(): do not skip spaces
Strict XenStore entry parsing
