[PATCH v2 0/2] sysctl: Two jiffies converter regressions from 2dc164a48e6f

From: Zhan Xusheng

Date: Sun Sep 27 2026 - 22:02:19 EST


Yes, the fixes; the tests are already in sysctl-next.

Only the changelogs changed. 1/2 now also names
proc_dointvec_userhz_jiffies(), and 2/2 labels its reproducer with the
CONFIG_HZ it needs. The code is identical to v1.

Based on v7.3-rc4+ (62f4c998b297); applies to sysctl-fixes as well.

Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260922031229.2300283-1-zhanxusheng@xxxxxxxxxx

Zhan Xusheng (2):
sysctl: Negate before converting in the int read path
time/jiffies: Saturate in mult_hz() instead of wrapping
