sysctl: Fix type truncation in sysctl_msec_to_jiffies (2026-09-15 09:20:58 +0200)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Summary
* Re-add the range check for millisecond to jiffy conversion in sysctl
They where removed in d174174c6776 ("sysctl: replace SYSCTL_INT_CONV_CUSTOM
macro with functions") and b96b5c6708ea ("sysctl: Replace
do_proc_do{int,ulong,uint}vec with do_proc_vec")
* Fix type truncation in sysctl_msec_to_jiffies
Previously truncated millisecond values now get converted into
MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET
* Testing
Ran through x86_64 selftest. One week in linux-next
