[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.20 298/304] proc/sysctl: fix return error for proc_doulongvec_minmax()

[Sasha Levin]

From: Cheng Lin <cheng.lin130@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 09be178400829dddc1189b50a7888495dd26aa84 ]

If the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters, an
EINVAL error will be returned.

For example, we use proc_doulongvec_minmax to pass up to two parameters
with kern_table:

{
	.procname       = "monitor_signals",
	.data           = &monitor_sigs,
	.maxlen         = 2*sizeof(unsigned long),
	.mode           = 0644,
	.proc_handler   = proc_doulongvec_minmax,
},

Reproduce:

When passing two parameters, it's work normal.  But passing only one
parameter, an error "Invalid argument"(EINVAL) is returned.

  [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  1       2
  [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
  [root@cl150 ~]# echo $?
  1
  [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  3       2
  [root@cl150 ~]#

The following is the result after apply this patch.  No error is
returned when the number of input parameters is less than the total
parameters.

  [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  1       2
  [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  [root@cl150 ~]# echo $?
  0
  [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals
  3       2
  [root@cl150 ~]#

There are three processing functions dealing with digital parameters,
__do_proc_dointvec/__do_proc_douintvec/__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax.

This patch deals with __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax, just as
__do_proc_dointvec does, adding a check for parameters 'left'.  In
__do_proc_douintvec, its code implementation explicitly does not support
multiple inputs.

static int __do_proc_douintvec(...){
         ...
         /*
          * Arrays are not supported, keep this simple. *Do not* add
          * support for them.
          */
         if (vleft != 1) {
                 *lenp = 0;
                 return -EINVAL;
         }
         ...
}

So, just __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax has the problem.  And most use of
proc_doulongvec_minmax/proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax just have one
parameter.
