[PATCH] sched/uclamp: reject negative values in cpu_uclamp_write
From: Qais Yousef
Date: Sun Jan 12 2020 - 18:55:02 EST
The check to ensure that the new written value into cpu.uclamp.{min,max}
is within range, [0:100], wasn't working because of the signed
comparison
7301 if (req.percent > UCLAMP_PERCENT_SCALE) {
7302 req.ret = -ERANGE;
7303 return req;
7304 }
Cast req.percent into u64 to force the comparison to be unsigned and
work as intended in capacity_from_percent().
Fixes: 2480c093130f ("sched/uclamp: Extend CPU's cgroup controller")
