Subject[PATCH 4.9 12/94] s390/mm: correct allocate_pgste proc_handler callback
Date
4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>

[ Upstream commit 5bedf8aa03c28cb8dc98bdd32a41b66d8f7d3eaa ]

Since proc_dointvec does not perform value range control,
proc_dointvec_minmax should be used to limit value range, which is
clearly intended here, as the internal representation of the value:

unsigned int alloc_pgste:1;

In fact it currently works, since we have

mm->context.alloc_pgste = page_table_allocate_pgste || ...

... since commit 23fefe119ceb5 ("s390/kvm: avoid global config of vm.alloc_pgste=1")

Before that it was

mm->context.alloc_pgste = page_table_allocate_pgste;

which was broken. That was introduced with commit 0b46e0a3ec0d7 ("s390/kvm:
remove delayed reallocation of page tables for KVM").
