net: llc: use correct size for sysctl timeout entries

2015-01-25T08:23:21+00:00

The timeout entries are sizeof(int) rather than sizeof(long), which
means that when they were getting read we'd also leak kernel memory
to userspace along with the timeout values.

net llc: Don't use sysctl tables with .child entries.

2012-04-21T01:22:29+00:00

The sysctl core no longer natively understands sysctl tables with .child
entries.

Kill the intermediate tables and use register_net_sysctl directly to
remove the need for compatibility code.

net: Move all of the network sysctls without a namespace into init_net.

2012-04-21T01:21:17+00:00

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
initial network namespace in other namespaces.

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to
userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for
sysctls right from the start.

sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code

2009-11-12T10:05:06+00:00

Now that sys_sysctl is a compatiblity wrapper around /proc/sys
all sysctl strategy routines, and all ctl_name and strategy
entries in the sysctl tables are unused, and can be
revmoed.

In addition neigh_sysctl_register has been modified to no longer
take a strategy argument and it's callers have been modified not
to pass one.

net: '&' redux

2008-11-04T02:21:05+00:00

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &
will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
compilation.

So, drop & in front of every ->proc_handler and every ->strategy
handler, it was never needed in fact.

[NET]: Simple ctl_table to ctl_path conversions.

2008-01-28T23:01:07+00:00

This patch includes many places, that only required
replacing the ctl_table-s with appropriate ctl_paths
and call register_sysctl_paths().

Nothing special was done with them.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59+00:00

The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name.  Which is
pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
duplicate sysctl entries.

So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
enhancments harder.

[PATCH] sysctl: llc: remove unnecessary insert_at_head flag

2007-02-14T16:09:55+00:00

The sysctl numbers used are unique so setting the insert_at_head flag serves
no semantis purpose, and is just confusing.
