From 3cd7645de624939c38f5124b4ac15f8b35a1a8b7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2015 14:11:33 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm, hugetlb: remove unnecessary lower bound on sysctl handlers"? Commit ed4d4902ebdd ("mm, hugetlb: remove hugetlb_zero and hugetlb_infinity") replaced 'unsigned long hugetlb_zero' with 'int zero' leading to out-of-bounds access in proc_doulongvec_minmax(). Use '.extra1 = NULL' instead of '.extra1 = &zero'. Passing NULL is equivalent to passing minimal value, which is 0 for unsigned types.
