Subject: param: fix return value handling in param_set_*
X-Git-Tag: v3.1-rc1~263^2~5
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=81c7413650fbbf881bcb9e567be61a6717eb1876;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-3.10.git

param: fix return value handling in param_set_*

In STANDARD_PARAM_DEF, param_set_* handles the case in which strtolfn
returns -EINVAL but it may return -ERANGE. If it returns -ERANGE,
param_set_* may set uninitialized value to the paramerter. We should handle
both cases.

The one of the cases in which strtolfn() returns -ERANGE is following:

 *Type of module parameter is long
 *Set the parameter more than LONG_MAX
