net: Remove ctl_table sentinel elements from several networking subsystems

2024-05-03T12:29:42Z

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/) To avoid lots of small commits, this commit brings together network changes from (as they appear in MAINTAINERS) LLC, MPTCP, NETROM NETWORK LAYER, PHONET PROTOCOL, ROSE NETWORK LAYER, RXRPC SOCKETS, SCTP PROTOCOL, SHARED MEMORY COMMUNICATIONS (SMC), TIPC NETWORK LAYER and NETWORKING [IPSEC] * Remove sentinel element from ctl_table structs. * Replace empty array registration with the register_net_sysctl_sz call in llc_sysctl_init * Replace the for loop stop condition that tests for procname == NULL with one that depends on array size in sctp_sysctl_net_register * Remove instances where an array element is zeroed out to make it look like a sentinel in xfrm_sysctl_init. This is not longer needed and is safe after commit c899710fe7f9 ("networking: Update to register_net_sysctl_sz") added the array size to the ctl_table registration * Use a table_size variable to keep the value of ARRAY_SIZE Signed-off-by: Joel Granados Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Convert uses of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2013-06-13T09:36:09Z

Reduce the uses of this unnecessary typedef. Done via perl script: $ git grep --name-only -w ctl_table net | \ xargs perl -p -i -e '\ sub trim { my ($local) = @_; $local =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; return $local; } \ s/\b(? Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Convert all sysctl registrations to register_net_sysctl

2012-04-21T01:22:30Z

This results in code with less boiler plate that is a bit easier to read. Additionally stops us from using compatibility code in the sysctl core, hastening the day when the compatibility code can be removed. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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

2012-04-21T01:21:17Z

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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

sysctl net: Remove unused binary sysctl code

2009-11-12T10:05:06Z

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

2008-11-04T02:21:05Z

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. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Simple ctl_table to ctl_path conversions.

2008-01-28T23:01:07Z

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. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[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.
