I understand your patch, but your log message is somehow incomplete.

Could you expand on that, showing the problem using an example, and then how you
see it fixed?

Also, could you please add the Fixes: tag so this patch can land on stable trees?

This patch isn't a fix. It's just an optimization for match data and proc_handler in struct ctl_table.

This statement 'if (period < min || period > max)' in __checkparam_dl() will work fine even if there hasn't this patch.
So this patch may not need land on stable trees.

Good, so you already know how to improve your log message.
