From: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@xxxxxxxxxx> This patch has been added to the 3.12 stable tree. If you have any objections, please let us know. =============== [ Upstream commit ff5e92c1affe7166b3f6e7073e648ed65a6e2e59 ] sysctl handler proc_sctp_do_hmac_alg(), proc_sctp_do_rto_min() and proc_sctp_do_rto_max() do not properly reflect some error cases when writing values via sysctl from internal proc functions such as proc_dointvec() and proc_dostring(). In all these cases we pass the test for write != 0 and partially do additional work just to notice that additional sanity checks fail and we return with hard-coded -EINVAL while proc_do* functions might also return different errors. So fix this up by simply testing a successful return of proc_do* right after calling it. This also allows to propagate its return value onwards to the user. While touching this, also fix up some minor style issues.
