Ping...any thoughts on these patches? (May have slipped through the
cracks over people's holiday vacations I'd guess.)
Thanks,

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,
