From 3ee75ac3c0f4904633322b7d9b111566fbc4a7d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2007 01:44:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl_{,ms_}jiffies: fix oldlen semantics currently it's 1) if *oldlenp == 0, don't writeback anything 2) if *oldlenp >= table->maxlen, don't writeback more than table->maxlen bytes and rewrite *oldlenp don't look at underlying type granularity 3) if 0 < *oldlenp < table->maxlen, *cough* string sysctls don't writeback more than *oldlenp bytes. OK, that's because sizeof(char) == 1 int sysctls writeback anything in (0, table->maxlen] range Though accept integers divisible by sizeof(int) for writing. sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies don't writeback anything but sizeof(int), which violates 1) and 2). So, make sysctl_jiffies and sysctl_ms_jiffies accept a) *oldlenp == 0, not doing writeback b) *oldlenp >= sizeof(int), writing one integer. -EINVAL still returned for *oldlenp == 1, 2, 3.
