I haven't looked at the implications but we accidentally allow bs1 to
be negative. It makes my static checker complain.

Hi Dan,
thanks for reporting this netiucv-problem. There is an implication:
Without fix, buffer values between 2**31 and 2**32 are not detected as
invalid values. Your fix would help, but since we have to touch the
code, I suggest to modernize it, moving from simple_strtoul() to
kstrtouint(). This would be the patch I have in mind:

And a question about your static checker detecting this problem: Is it a
private checker, or something we could use as well?
Does your checker like my patch version?
Thanks, Ursula

That looks good. Thanks. This was a Smatch thing that I haven't pushed
yet. It needs some work yet to cut down the false positive rate but
it's close.
