[PATCH 1/2] lib/strtox: introduce kstrtoull_suffix() helper

From: Qu Wenruo
Date: Fri Dec 15 2023 - 03:40:05 EST


Just as mentioned in the comment of memparse(), the simple_stroull()
usage can lead to overflow all by itself.

Furthermore, the suffix calculation is also super overflow prone because
that some suffix like "E" itself would eat 60bits, leaving only 4 bits
available.

And that suffix "E" can also lead to confusion since it's using the same
char of hex Ox'E'.

One simple example to expose all the problem is to use memparse() on
"25E".
The correct value should be 28823037615171174400, but the suffix E makes
it super simple to overflow, resulting the incorrect value
10376293541461622784 (9E).

So here we introduce a new helper to address the problem,
kstrtoull_suffix():

- Enhance _kstrtoull()
This allow _kstrtoull() to return even if it hits an invalid char, as
long as the optional parameter @retptr is provided.

If @retptr is provided, _kstrtoull() would try its best to parse the
valid part, and leave the remaining to be handled by the caller.

If @retptr is not provided, the behavior is not altered.

- New kstrtoull_suffix() helper
This new helper utilize the new @retptr capability of _kstrtoull(),
and provides 2 new ability:

* Allow certain suffixes to be chosen
The recommended suffix list is "KkMmGgTtPp", excluding the overflow
prone "Ee". Undermost cases there is really no need to use "E" suffix
anyway.
And for those who really need that exabytes suffix, they can enable
that suffix pretty easily.

* Add overflow checks for the suffixes
If the original number string is fine, but with the extra left
shift overflow happens, then -EOVERFLOW is returned.
