[PATCH net v2 0/2] net: preserve rps_default_mask on failed writes

[Yingjie Wang]

rps_default_mask_sysctl() parses and validates writes in the live
per-netns mask. Both the bitmap parser and housekeeping validation can
modify that mask before returning an error, so a failed write can change
the default applied to RX queues created later.

Parse and validate a temporary mask before publishing it, and add a
regression test for a partially parsed invalid value.

On the base kernel, the new test fails because the mask changes from 1
to 3. With the fix, all ten rps_default_mask selftests pass. Tests with
isolated CPUs also confirm that overflow and housekeeping failures leave
the mask unchanged, while valid writes continue to work.

Changes since v1:
- Parse and validate the temporary mask before taking
  rps_default_mask_mutex, as suggested by Wang Zhan.
- Add Wang Zhan's Reviewed-by and Tested-by tags to patch 1.
- Add Kuniyuki Iwashima to Cc.
