scsi: Remove now superfluous sentinel element from ctl_table array

2023-10-11T19:16:13Z

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 from scsi_table and sg_sysctls.

scsi: simplify sysctl registration with register_sysctl()

2023-04-13T18:49:20Z

register_sysctl_table() is a deprecated compatibility wrapper. register_sysctl() can do the directory creation for you so just use that. Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain

scsi: convert use of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.

2009-11-18T16:37:40Z

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. Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman

sysctl drivers: Remove dead binary sysctl support

2009-11-12T10:04:58Z

Now that sys_sysctl is a wrapper around /proc/sys all of the binary sysctl support elsewhere in the tree is dead code.

[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl

2007-02-14T16:09:59Z

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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36Z

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
