This is a generic change which affects all users of
do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() that have extra1 or extra2 set. In sysctl.c, I
do not see another user of proc_doulongvec_minmax() that has extra1 or
extra2 set. However, have you verified whether your patch changes the
behaviour for other files that make use of proc_doulongvec_minmax() or
proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax(), and not only of the file-max sysctl?

Thanks,
