Subject: sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~5854
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=425fffd886bae3d127a08fa6a17f2e31e24ed7ff;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec

Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the
value will be truncated:

  # echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat

This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error
when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.

Fixes: e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields")
