commit 7ee23491b39259ae83899dd93b2a29ef0f22f0a7 upstream. The permissions of the read-only or write-only sysfs files can be changed (as root) and the user can then try to read a write-only file or write to a read-only file which will lead to kernel crash here. Protect against that by always validating the show/store callbacks.

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.
