mm/kmemleak: fix possible wrong memory scanning period
This commit contains 3 modifications: 1. Convert the type of jiffies_scan_wait to "unsigned long". 2. Use READ/WRITE_ONCE() for accessing "jiffies_scan_wait". 3. Fix the possible wrong memory scanning period. If you set a large memory scanning period like blow, then the "secs" variable will be non-zero, however the value of "jiffies_scan_wait" will be zero. echo "scan=0x10000000" > /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak It is because the type of the msecs_to_jiffies()'s parameter is "unsigned int", and the "secs * 1000" is larger than its max value. This in turn leads a unexpected jiffies_scan_wait, maybe zero. We corret it by replacing kstrtoul() with kstrtouint(), and check the msecs to prevent it larger than UINT_MAX.
