Dear Simon,
In message CAPnjgZ0B0oyxn8enY4dKNmGYJtF-vr9tYXzaBahLDt70Wz6axA@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
There are quite a few places where simple_strtoul() is called with a base of 0. In that case, if the string starts with 0 it is interpreted as octal.
That's a bug, then.
If so it is a 19-year-old bug: (was lib_generic/vsprintc.c)
