Subject: [PATCH 00/23] Removal of binary sysctl support
Date: Sun, 08 Nov 2009 04:15:26 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1639ljjq9.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)
This patchset reimplements sys_sysctl as a compatibility wrapper
around /proc/sys. After which it removes all of the code to all over
the kernel that is used today to implement the binary sysctls.
I am posting this patchset to give everyone a heads up what is in
flight.
I intend to carry all of these patches in my sysctl tree.
If you add new sysctls to other trees please don't set the .ctl_name
or .strategy fields in struct ctl_table, as setting those fields
is unnecessary now and are removed by this patchset.
Last I looked at linux-next is only one new sysctl that is not in
Linus's tree under net/ipv6. David I will send you a patch in a
bit to remove the unnecessary .ctl_name = CTL_UNNUMBERED line so
that linux-next continues to compile when my tree makes it there.
