The size_write function is supposed to adjust the total_mr's to match the
user's request, but lacks locking and safety checking.
total_mrs can only be adjusted by at most available_mrs. mrs already
assigned to users cannot be revoked. Ensure that the user provides a
target value within the range of available_mrs and within the high/low
water mark.
limit_write has confusing and wrong sanity checking, and doesn't have the
ability to deallocate on limit reduction.
Since both functions use the same algorithm to adjust the available_mrs,
consolidate it into one function and write it correctly. Fix the locking
and by holding the spinlock for all accesses to ent->X.
Always fail if the user provides a malformed string.

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.
