sysctl: move the extra1/2 boundary check of u8 to sysctl_check_table_array
Move boundary checking for proc_dou8ved_minmax into module loading, thereby
reporting errors in advance. And add a kunit test case ensuring the
boundary check is done correctly.
The boundary check in proc_dou8vec_minmax done to the extra elements in
the ctl_table struct is currently performed at runtime. This allows buggy
kernel modules to be loaded normally without any errors only to fail
when used.
This is a buggy example module:
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/sysctl.h>
static int init_demo(void) {
_table_header = register_sysctl("kernel", table);
if (!_table_header)
return -ENOMEM;
return 0;
}
module_init(init_demo);
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
And this is the result:
# insmod test.ko
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/foo
cat: /proc/sys/kernel/foo: Invalid argument
