printk: Fix incorrect __user type in proc_dointvec_minmax_sysadmin()
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") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220104155024.48023-2-mic@digikod.net [1] Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de> Cc: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> Cc: Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Mickaël Salaün <mic@linux.microsoft.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220203145029.272640-1-mic@digikod.net Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
