The following commit has been merged into the sched/core branch of tip: Commit-ID: 2ed81e765417ec2526f901366167a13294ef09ce Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/2ed81e765417ec2526f901366167a13294ef09ce Author: Yajun Deng <yajun.deng@xxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Tue, 07 Jun 2022 18:18:07 +08:00 Committer: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitterDate: Mon, 13 Jun 2022 10:30:00 +02:00 sched/deadline: Use proc_douintvec_minmax() limit minimum value sysctl_sched_dl_period_max and sysctl_sched_dl_period_min are unsigned integer, but proc_dointvec() wouldn't return error even if we set a negative number. Use proc_douintvec_minmax() instead of proc_dointvec(). Add extra1 for sysctl_sched_dl_period_max and extra2 for sysctl_sched_dl_period_min. It's just an optimization for match data and proc_handler in struct ctl_table. The 'if (period < min || period > max)' in __checkparam_dl() will work fine even if there hasn't this patch.
