Subject: [PATCH 05/14] sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table
Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2023 16:06:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230726140635.2059334-6-j.granados@samsung.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230726140635.2059334-1-j.granados@samsung.com>

This is part of the effort to remove the sentinel element in the
ctl_table arrays. We add a table_size argument to
__register_sysctl_table and adjust callers, all of which pass ctl_table
pointers and need an explicit call to ARRAY_SIZE.

The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the
init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence.
table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in
__register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory
is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for
the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size
of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and
register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the
sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as
table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that
point.

Temporarily implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl, which
is an indirection call for all the network register calls.
