Hello, After being left with an unusable system after a typo executing something like 'echo $((1<<24)) > /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count', I found that do_proc_dointvec_minmax_conv() was missing a check to ensure that the converted value actually fits in an int. The first of the following patches enhances the sysctl selftest such that it detects this problem; the second fixes it (wasn't entirely sure if this would meet the criteria of something that should be sent to -stable; input welcome). Thanks, Zev Weiss
