| H A D | hugetlb.h | a3d0c6aa Fri Feb 08 06:18:18 CST 2008 Nishanth Aravamudan <nacc@us.ibm.com> hugetlb: add locking for overcommit sysctl
When I replaced hugetlb_dynamic_pool with nr_overcommit_hugepages I used
proc_doulongvec_minmax() directly. However, hugetlb.c's locking rules
require that all counter modifications occur under the hugetlb_lock. Add a
callback into the hugetlb code similar to the one for nr_hugepages. Grab
the lock around the manipulation of nr_overcommit_hugepages in
proc_doulongvec_minmax().

| H A D | hugetlb.c | 08d4a246 Thu Jan 13 17:47:26 CST 2011 Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.cz> hugetlb: check the return value of string conversion in sysctl handler
proc_doulongvec_minmax may fail if the given buffer doesn't represent a
valid number. If we provide something invalid we will initialize the
resulting value (nr_overcommit_huge_pages in this case) to a random value
from the stack.
The issue was introduced by a3d0c6aa when the default handler has been
replaced by the helper function where we do not check the return value.
Reproducer:
echo "" > /proc/sys/vm/nr_overcommit_hugepages
