[PATCH 29/29] sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users
From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2012-01-27 04:50:10
Also in:
linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem:
filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), proc filesystem, proc sysctl, the rest · Maintainers:
Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Kees Cook, Joel Granados, Linus Torvalds
The plan is to convert all callers of register_sysctl_table and register_sysctl_paths to register_sysctl. The interface to register_sysctl is enough nicer this should make the callers a bit more readable. Additionally after the conversion the 230 lines of backwards compatibility can be removed.
