ntfs: fix sysctl table registration and path

2026-03-01T05:53:37+00:00

The presence of a sentinel (an empty {}) at the end of the ctl_table array
now causes a "sysctl table check failed" error because the kernel attempts
to validate the null entry as a functional node.
Deleted the empty {} from the ntfs_sysctls array to prevent
the "procname is null" and "No proc_handler" errors and updated the base
path from "fs" to "fs/ntfs" to ensure the ntfs-debug node is correctly
located under /proc/sys/fs/ntfs/.

Revert "fs: Remove NTFS classic"

2026-02-19T12:48:05+00:00

This reverts commit 7ffa8f3d30236e0ab897c30bdb01224ff1fe1c89.

Reverts the removal of the classic read-only ntfs driver to
serve as the base for a new read-write ntfs implementation.
If we stack changes on top of the revert patch, It will significantly
reduce the diff size, making the review easier.

This revert intentionally excludes the restoration of Kconfig and
Makefile. The Kconfig and Makefile will be added back in the final patch
of this series, enabling the driver only after all features and
improvements have been applied.

fs: Remove NTFS classic

2024-01-24T09:47:00+00:00

The replacement, NTFS3, was merged over two years ago.  It is now time to
remove the original from the tree as it is the last user of several APIs,
and it is not worth changing.

fs: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

2023-12-28T12:57:57+00:00

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.

ntfs: simplfy one-level sysctl registration for ntfs_sysctls

2023-04-13T18:49:35+00:00

There is no need to declare an extra tables to just create directory,
this can be easily be done with a prefix path with register_sysctl().

Simplify this registration.

sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.

2009-11-18T16:37:40+00:00

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.
