[PATCH 15/29] sysctl: Initial support for auto-unregistering sysctl tables.
From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2012-01-27 04:49:34
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
Add nreg to ctl_table_header. When nreg drops to 0 the ctl_table_header will be unregistered. Factor out drop_sysctl_table from unregister_sysctl_table, and add the logic for decrementing nreg.
