fs: move fs stat sysctls to file_table.c

2025-03-13T11:49:50Z

[ Upstream commit 204d5a24e15562b2816825c0f9b49d26814b77be ] kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. We can create the sysctl dynamically on early init for fs stat to help with this clutter. This dusts off the fs stat syctls knobs and puts them into where they are declared.

fs: move inode sysctls to its own file

2025-03-13T11:49:50Z

[ Upstream commit 1d67fe585049d3e2448b997af78c68cbf90ada09 ] Patch series "sysctl: 4th set of kernel/sysctl cleanups". This is slimming down the fs uses of kernel/sysctl.c to the point that the next step is to just get rid of the fs base directory for it and move that elsehwere, so that next patch series starts dealing with that to demo how we can end up cleaning up a full base directory from kernel/sysctl.c, one at a time. This patch (of 9): kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain. To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we just care about the core logic. So move the inode sysctls to its own file. Since we are no longer using this outside of fs/ remove the extern declaration of its respective proc helper. We use early_initcall() as it is the earliest we can use.

sysctl: use const for typically used max/min proc sysctls

2025-03-13T11:49:50Z

[ Upstream commit d73840ec2f747b860331bbba53677d0ce38fb9c1 ] When proc_dointvec_minmax() or proc_doulongvec_minmax() are used we are using the extra1 and extra2 parameters on the sysctl table only for a min and max boundary, these extra1 and extra2 arguments are then used for read-only operations. So make them const to reflect this.

sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_us

2024-03-01T12:21:43Z

commit 079be8fc630943d9fc70a97807feb73d169ee3fc upstream. The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken because: - the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int - parsed by proc_do_intvec() - the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec() Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive integers which did passed the check: if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0) return EINVAL; This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead. Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use proc_douintvec() for it however even the Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to INT_MAX. As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse userspace. There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/ltp/patch/20230901144433.2526-1-chrubis@suse.cz/ Signed-off-by: Cyril Hrubis Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231002115553.3007-2-chrubis@suse.cz [ pvorel: rebased for 5.15, 5.10 ] Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

proc: proc_skip_spaces() shouldn't think it is working on C strings

2022-12-08T10:28:45Z

commit bce9332220bd677d83b19d21502776ad555a0e73 upstream. proc_skip_spaces() seems to think it is working on C strings, and ends up being just a wrapper around skip_spaces() with a really odd calling convention. Instead of basing it on skip_spaces(), it should have looked more like proc_skip_char(), which really is the exact same function (except it skips a particular character, rather than whitespace). So use that as inspiration, odd coding and all. Now the calling convention actually makes sense and works for the intended purpose.

proc: avoid integer type confusion in get_proc_long

2022-12-08T10:28:45Z

commit e6cfaf34be9fcd1a8285a294e18986bfc41a409c upstream. proc_get_long() is passed a size_t, but then assigns it to an 'int' variable for the length. Let's not do that, even if our IO paths are limited to MAX_RW_COUNT (exactly because of these kinds of type errors). So do the proper test in the rigth type.

sysctl: move some boundary constants from sysctl.c to sysctl_vals

2022-07-29T15:25:11Z

[ Upstream commit 78e36f3b0dae586f623c4a37ec5eb5496f5abbe1 ] sysctl has helpers which let us specify boundary values for a min or max int value. Since these are used for a boundary check only they don't change, so move these variables to sysctl_vals to avoid adding duplicate variables. This will help with our cleanup of kernel/sysctl.c.
