From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== commit ff9f8a7cf935468a94d9927c68b00daae701667e upstream. We perform the conversion between kernel jiffies and ms only when exporting kernel value to user space. We need to do the opposite operation when value is written by user. Only matters when HZ != 1000 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@xxxxxxx> --- kernel/sysctl.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff --git a/kernel/sysctl.c b/kernel/sysctl.c index 37b95a2982af..2488148a66d7 100644 --- a/kernel/sysctl.c +++ b/kernel/sysctl.c @@ -2229,6 +2229,7 @@ static int __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(void *data, struct ctl_table *table, int break; if (neg) continue; + val = convmul * val / convdiv; if ((min && val < *min) || (max && val > *max)) continue; *i = val; -- 2.11.1
