Subject: [BUG] timer_migration interface accepts any number as input in 2.6.30-git9
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:42:16 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1245229936.3345.67.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
Hi
Timer migration interface /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration in
2.6.30-git9 accepts any numerical value as input.
Steps to reproduce
1. echo -6666666 > /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration
2. cat /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration
-6666666
1. echo 44444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444 > /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration
2. cat /proc/sys/kernel/timer_migration
-1357789412
Expected behavior: Should 'echo: write error: Invalid argument' while
setting any value other then 0 & 1
Regards
Poornima
