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.
