Commit 7c60c48f58a7 ("sysctl: Improve the sysctl sanity checks") improved sanity checks considerbly, however the enhancements on sysctl_check_table() meant adding a functional change so that only the last table entry's sanity error is propagated. It also changed the way errors were propagated so that each new check reset the err value, this means only last sanity check computed is used for an error. This has been in the kernel since v3.4 days. Fix this by carrying on errors from previous checks and iterations as we traverse the table and ensuring we keep any error from previous checks. We keep iterating on the table even if an error is found so we can complain for all errors found in one shot. This works as -EINVAL is always returned on error anyway, and the check for error is any non-zero value. Fixes: 7c60c48f58a7 ("sysctl: Improve the sysctl sanity checks") Signed-off-by: Luis R.
