People may set sequential_cutoff of a cached device via sysfs file, but current code does not check input value overflow. E.g. if value 4294967295 (UINT_MAX) is written to file sequential_cutoff, its value is 4GB, but if 4294967296 (UINT_MAX + 1) is written into, its value will be 0. This is an unexpected behavior. This patch replaces d_strtoi_h() by sysfs_strtoul_clamp() to convert input string to unsigned integer value, and limit its range in [0, UINT_MAX]. Then the input overflow can be fixed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
