Subject: [PATCH] printk: Fix incorrect __user type in
 proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

References: bnc#1189998 (PREEMPT_RT prerequisite backports)
Patch-mainline: v5.17-rc3
Git-commit: 1f2cfdd349b7647f438c1e552dc1b983da86d830

The move of proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin() from kernel/sysctl.c to
kernel/printk/sysctl.c introduced an incorrect __user attribute to the
buffer argument.  I spotted this change in [1] as well as the kernel
test robot.  Revert this change to please sparse:

  kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
  kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51:    expected void *
  kernel/printk/sysctl.c:20:51:    got void [noderef] __user *buffer

Fixes: faaa357a55e0 ("printk: move printk sysctl to printk/sysctl.c")
