[PATCH 4.4 32/41] timer/sysclt: Restrict timer migration sysctl values to 0 and 1
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Oct 03 2017 - 09:12:07 EST
4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Myungho Jung <mhjungk@xxxxxxxxx>
commit b94bf594cf8ed67cdd0439e70fa939783471597a upstream.
timer_migration sysctl acts as a boolean switch, so the allowed values
should be restricted to 0 and 1.
Add the necessary extra fields to the sysctl table entry to enforce that.
