From d738ce8fdc05ebf5b1475f8ae26d908c8c50970b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francesco Fusco Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2013 10:39:07 +0200 Subject: sysctl: range checking in do_proc_dointvec_ms_jiffies_conv When (integer) sysctl values are expressed in ms and have to be represented internally as jiffies. The msecs_to_jiffies function returns an unsigned long, which gets assigned to the integer. This patch prevents the value to be assigned if bigger than INT_MAX, done in a similar way as in cba9f3 ("Range checking in do_proc_dointvec_(userhz_)jiffies_conv").
