[RESEND PATCH v2] sysctl: move the extra1/2 boundary check of u8 to sysctl_check_table_array

From: wenyang . linux
Date: Fri Mar 08 2024 - 10:51:00 EST


From: Wen Yang <wenyang.linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The boundary check of u8's extra is currently performed at runtime.
This may result in some kernel modules that can be loaded normally without
any errors, but not works, as follows:

#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/sysctl.h>

static struct ctl_table_header *_table_header;
unsigned char _data = 0;
struct ctl_table table[] = {
{
.procname = "foo",
.data = &_data,
.maxlen = sizeof(u8),
.mode = 0644,
.proc_handler = proc_dou8vec_minmax,
.extra1 = SYSCTL_ZERO,
.extra2 = SYSCTL_ONE_THOUSAND,
},
{}
};

static int init_demo(void) {
if (!_table_header)
_table_header = register_sysctl("kernel", table);

pr_info("test: init module.\n");
return 0;
}

static void cleanup_demo(void) {
if (_table_header) {
unregister_sysctl_table(_table_header);
}

pr_info("test: cleanup module.\n");
}

module_init(init_demo);
module_exit(cleanup_demo);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");

# insmod test.ko
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/foo
cat: /proc/sys/kernel/foo: Invalid argument
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/foo
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

This patch moves the boundary check forward to module loading and
also adds a kunit test case.
