[PATCH v4] x86/resctrl: Avoid overflow in MB settings in bw_validate()

[PATCH v4] x86/resctrl: Avoid overflow in MB settings in bw_validate()

[Martin Kletzander]

The resctrl schemata file supports specifying memory bandwidth
associated with the Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) feature
via a percentage (this is the default) or bandwidth in MiBps
(when resctrl is mounted with the "mba_MBps" option). The allowed
range for the bandwidth percentage is from
/sys/fs/resctrl/info/MB/min_bandwidth to 100, using a granularity
of /sys/fs/resctrl/info/MB/bandwidth_gran. The supported range for
the MiBps bandwidth is 0 to U32_MAX.

There are two issues with parsing of MiBps memory bandwidth:
* The user provided MiBps is mistakenly rounded up to the granularity
  that is unique to percentage input.
* The user provided MiBps is parsed using unsigned long (thus accepting
  values up to ULONG_MAX), and then assigned to u32 that could result in
  overflow.

Do not round up the MiBps value and parse user provided bandwidth as
the u32 it is intended to be. Use the appropriate kstrtou32() that
can detect out of range values.

Fixes: 8205a078ba78 ("x86/intel_rdt/mba_sc: Add schemata support")
Fixes: 6ce1560d35f6 ("x86/resctrl: Switch over to the resctrl mbps_val list")

v4:
 - format the u32 variable properly
 - use better commit message

v3:
 - use u32 right away without going through unsigned long

v2:
 - actually save the value in the output parameter @data
