[PATCH] sysctl: Fix proc_do_large_bitmap for large input buffers

[PATCH] sysctl: Fix proc_do_large_bitmap for large input buffers

[Eric Sandeen]

Today, proc_do_large_bitmap() truncates a large write input buffer
to PAGE_SIZE - 1, which may result in misparsed numbers at the
(truncated) end of the buffer.  Further, it fails to notify the caller
that the buffer was truncated, so it doesn't get called iteratively
to finish the entire input buffer.

Tell the caller if there's more work to do by adding the skipped
amount back to left/*lenp before returning.

To fix the misparsing, reset the position if we have completely
consumed a truncated buffer (or if just one char is left, which
may be a "-" in a range), and ask the caller to come back for
more.

Thanks Eric!

So /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_reserved_ports is a production knob, and
if we wanted to stress test it with a selftest it could break other self
tests or change the system behaviour. Because of this we have now have
lib/test_sysctl.c, and we test this with the script:

tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh

Any chance you can extend lib/test_sysctl.c with a new respective bitmap
knob, and add a respective test? This will ensure we don't regress
later. 0-day runs sysctl.sh so it should catch any regressions in the
future.

If you can think of other ways to test the knob that would be great too.

Hang on, V2 pending...

[Eric Sandeen]

Add test to build up bitmap range string and test the bitmap
proc handler.

Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>

V2: set rc=0 for test success

however this still fails indeterminately for me.  Debugging, if I
save off the test write string and the read string, re-writing it to
the handler works fine.  My standalone test also works fine for 1000
iterations.  So I don't know what's going on here.

nb: test_modprobe & load_req_mod fail for me before we ever

Would be nice to fix this bug.  I submitted the test node patch as well
as an attempt to integrate it into the test harness, though there's
wonkiness there still, and I could use more experienced eyes.

Can we move this forward?

Thanks,

Sorry for the delay.

I'm rolling these changes in with some minor adjustments, can you send
me your respective lib/test_sysctl.c changes? I don't see that they had
been sent.
