ipc: always handle a new value of auto_msgmni
commit 1195d94e006b23c6292e78857e154872e33b6d7e upstream. proc_dointvec_minmax() returns zero if a new value has been set. So we don't need to check all charecters have been handled. Below you can find two examples. In the new value has not been handled properly. $ strace ./a.out open("/proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni", O_WRONLY) = 3 write(3, "0\n\0", 3) = 2 close(3) = 0 exit_group(0) $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace $strace ./a.out open("/proc/sys/kernel/auto_msgmni", O_WRONLY) = 3 write(3, "0\n", 2) = 2 close(3) = 0 $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace a.out-697 [000] .... 3280.998235: unregister_ipcns_notifier <-proc_ipcauto_dointvec_minmax Fixes: 9eefe520c814 ("ipc: do not use a negative value to re-enable msgmni automatic recomputin") Signed-off-by: Andrey Vagin <avagin@openvz.org> Cc: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Cc: Manfred Spraul <manfred@colorfullife.com> Cc: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Cc: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz>
