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-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fea478d4101a;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.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.
