From: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me 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 <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <[email protected]> --- 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; -- 2.12.0
