Subject[PATCH 4.9 16/41] sysctl: report EINVAL if value is larger than UINT_MAX for proc_douintvec
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@gmail.com>

commit 425fffd886bae3d127a08fa6a17f2e31e24ed7ff upstream.

Currently, inputting the following command will succeed but actually the
value will be truncated:

# echo 0x12ffffffff > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_notsent_lowat

This is not friendly to the user, so instead, we should report error
when the value is larger than UINT_MAX.

Fixes: e7d316a02f68 ("sysctl: handle error writing UINT_MAX to u32 fields")
