mainlining shenanigans
70ba5b6db9
The low and high values of the net.ipv4.ping_group_range sysctl were being silently forced to the default disabled state when a write to the sysctl contained GIDs that didn't map to the associated user namespace. Confusingly, the sysctl's write operation would return success and then a subsequent read of the sysctl would indicate that the low and high values are the overflowgid. This patch changes the behavior by clearly returning an error when the sysctl write operation receives a GID range that doesn't map to the associated user namespace. In such a situation, the previous value of the sysctl is preserved and that range will be returned in a subsequent read of the sysctl.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
