Subject: [PATCH v1] printk: Fix incorrect __user type in proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin()
Date: Thu, 3 Feb 2022 15:50:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220203145029.272640-1-mic@digikod.net> (raw)
From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@linux.microsoft.com>
The move of proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin() from kernel/sysctl.c to
kernel/printk/sysctl.c introduced an incorrect __user attribute to the
buffer argument. I spotted this change in [1] as well as the kernel
test robot. Revert this change to please sparse:
kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: expected void *
kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: got void [noderef] __user *buffer
Fixes: faaa357a55e0 ("printk: move printk sysctl to printk/sysctl.c")
