commit 9a9f3a9842927e4af7ca10c19c94dad83bebd713 upstream. Now ac_groups_linear_remaining is of type __u16 and s_mb_max_linear_groups is of type unsigned int, so an overflow occurs when setting a value above 65535 through the mb_max_linear_groups sysfs interface. Therefore, the type of ac_groups_linear_remaining is set to __u32 to avoid overflow.

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.
