From: Eric W. Biederman Date: Sat, 21 Jan 2012 05:47:03 +0000 (-0800) Subject: sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~3260^2~7 X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fea478d4101a4285aa25c5bafaaf4cec35026fe0;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git sysctl: Add register_sysctl for normal sysctl users 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.
