H A Drt.cdiff 74fd1b8c4419ab9942ccf4e378adf3bd4a86dd69 Mon Oct 02 06:55:51 CDT 2023 Cyril Hrubis <chrubis@suse.cz> sched/rt: Disallow writing invalid values to sched_rt_period_us

commit 079be8fc630943d9fc70a97807feb73d169ee3fc upstream.

The validation of the value written to sched_rt_period_us was broken
because:

- the sysclt_sched_rt_period is declared as unsigned int
- parsed by proc_do_intvec()
- the range is asserted after the value parsed by proc_do_intvec()

Because of this negative values written to the file were written into a
unsigned integer that were later on interpreted as large positive
integers which did passed the check:

if (sysclt_sched_rt_period <= 0)
return EINVAL;

This commit fixes the parsing by setting explicit range for both
perid_us and runtime_us into the sched_rt_sysctls table and processes
the values with proc_dointvec_minmax() instead.

Alternatively if we wanted to use full range of unsigned int for the
period value we would have to split the proc_handler and use
proc_douintvec() for it however even the
Documentation/scheduller/sched-rt-group.rst describes the range as 1 to
INT_MAX.

As far as I can tell the only problem this causes is that the sysctl
file allows writing negative values which when read back may confuse
userspace.

There is also a LTP test being submitted for these sysctl files at:
