[PATCH 6.1 v2 1/2] sched/rt: sysctl_sched_rr_timeslice show default timeslice after reset
From: Cyril Hrubis chrubis@suse.cz
[ Upstream commit c1fc6484e1fb7cc2481d169bfef129a1b0676abe ]
The sched_rr_timeslice can be reset to default by writing value that is <= 0. However after reading from this file we always got the last value written, which is not useful at all.
$ echo -1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/sched_rr_timeslice_ms -1
Fix this by setting the variable that holds the sysctl file value to the jiffies_to_msecs(RR_TIMESLICE) in case that <= 0 value was written.

[ Upstream commit 079be8fc630943d9fc70a97807feb73d169ee3fc ]
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:
