proc/sysctl: fix return error for proc_doulongvec_minmax()
If the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters, an EINVAL error will be returned. For example, we use proc_doulongvec_minmax to pass up to two parameters with kern_table: { .procname = "monitor_signals", .data = &monitor_sigs, .maxlen = 2*sizeof(unsigned long), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = proc_doulongvec_minmax, }, Reproduce: When passing two parameters, it's work normal. But passing only one parameter, an error "Invalid argument"(EINVAL) is returned. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 1 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# The following is the result after apply this patch. No error is returned when the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 0 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# There are three processing functions dealing with digital parameters, __do_proc_dointvec/__do_proc_douintvec/__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. This patch deals with __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax, just as __do_proc_dointvec does, adding a check for parameters 'left'. In __do_proc_douintvec, its code implementation explicitly does not support multiple inputs. static int __do_proc_douintvec(...){ ... /* * Arrays are not supported, keep this simple. *Do not* add * support for them. */ if (vleft != 1) { *lenp = 0; return -EINVAL; } ... } So, just __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax has the problem. And most use of proc_doulongvec_minmax/proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax just have one parameter.
