The set_ownership callback is not supposed to modify the ctl_table. Enforce this expectation via the typesystem. The patch was created with the following coccinelle script: virtual patch virtual context virtual reportIf you remove this virtual stuff and mention how we verify manually through the build how users do not exits which rely on modifying the the table I thinkt these two patches are ready, thanks for doing this in Coccinelle it helps me review this faster!Actually the 'table' parameter is never even used.
Oh wow.

Absolutely. Luis
