Subject: [PATCH v4] sysctl: move the extra1/2 boundary check of u8 to sysctl_check_table_array
Move boundary checking for proc_dou8ved_minmax into module loading, thereby
reporting errors in advance. And add a kunit test case ensuring the
boundary check is done correctly.
The boundary check in proc_dou8vec_minmax done to the extra elements in
the ctl_table struct is currently performed at runtime. This allows buggy
kernel modules to be loaded normally without any errors only to fail
when used.
This is a buggy example module:
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/sysctl.h>
static struct ctl_table_header *_table_header = NULL;
static unsigned char _data = 0;
struct ctl_table table[] = {
{
.procname = "foo",
.data = &_data,
.maxlen = sizeof(u8),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = proc_dou8vec_minmax,
.extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO,
.extra2 = SYSCTL_ONE_THOUSAND,
},
};
static int init_demo(void) {
_table_header = register_sysctl("kernel", table);
if (!_table_header)
return -ENOMEM;
return 0;
}
module_init(init_demo);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
And this is the result:
# insmod test.ko
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/foo
cat: /proc/sys/kernel/foo: Invalid argument

v4:
- commit log: move the text describing what was done to the top.
- commit log: rework the buggy example module
- proc_sysctl.c: print error messages that can indicate this specific issue
- sysctl.c: leave as (unsigned int *)
v3:
- kunit: using register_sysctl, and thus unnecessary sentries were removed
- kunit: using constant ctl_tables
v2:
- kunit: detect registration failure with KUNIT_EXPECT_NULL
