[ Upstream commit 700465fd338fe5df08a1b2e27fa16981f562547f ]
In setsockopt(SO_MAX_PACING_RATE) on 64bit systems, sk_max_pacing_rate,
after extended from 'u32' to 'unsigned long', takes unintentionally
hiked value whenever assigned from an 'int' value with MSB=1, due to
binary sign extension in promoting s32 to u64, e.g. 0x80000000 becomes
0xFFFFFFFF80000000.
Thus inflated sk_max_pacing_rate causes subsequent getsockopt to return
~0U unexpectedly. It may also result in increased pacing rate.
Fix by explicitly casting the 'int' value to 'unsigned int' before
assigning it to sk_max_pacing_rate, for zero extension to happen.
Fixes: 76a9ebe811fb ("net: extend sk_pacing_rate to unsigned long")

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.
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.
