Subject: [PATCH 4.9 15/41] sysctl: dont print negative flag for proc_douintvec
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@...il.com>
commit 5380e5644afbba9e3d229c36771134976f05c91e upstream.
I saw some very confusing sysctl output on my system:
# cat /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_rseqth
-2
# cat /proc/sys/net/core/xfrm_aevent_etime
-10
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat
-4294967295
Because we forget to set the *negp flag in proc_douintvec, so it will
become a garbage value.
Since the value related to proc_douintvec is always an unsigned integer,
so we can set *negp to false explictily to fix this issue.
Fixes: e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields")
