Current code allows the page_reporting_order parameter to be changed via sysfs to any integer value. The new value is used immediately in page reporting code with no validation, which could cause incorrect behavior. Fix this by adding validation of the new value. Export this parameter for use in the driver that is calling the page_reporting_register(). This is needed by drivers like hv_balloon to know the order of the pages reported. Traditionally the values provided in the kernel boot line or subsequently changed via sysfs take priority therefore, if page_reporting_order parameter's value is set, it takes precedence over the value passed while registering with the driver.

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.
