[ Upstream commit058b9b19f9] When writing to the forwarding sysctl, if proc_dointvec() fails to parse the input, it returns a negative error code. The current implementation is overwriting that error for write operations. This results in a silent failure, it returns a successful write although the configuration was not modified at all. When modifying the "all" variant it can also modify the configuration of existing interfaces to the wrong value. Fix this by checking the return value of proc_dointvec() and returning early on failure. In addition, adjust return code of addrconf_fixup_forwarding() for successful operation.

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.
