commit b562d140649966d4daedd0483a8fe59ad3bb465a upstream.
The check to ensure that the new written value into cpu.uclamp.{min,max} is within range, [0:100], wasn't working because of the signed comparison
7301 if (req.percent > UCLAMP_PERCENT_SCALE) { 7302 req.ret = -ERANGE; 7303 return req; 7304 }
# echo -1 > cpu.uclamp.min # cat cpu.uclamp.min 42949671.96
Cast req.percent into u64 to force the comparison to be unsigned and work as intended in capacity_from_percent().
# echo -1 > cpu.uclamp.min sh: write error: Numerical result out of range
