From 3cc3e04636d603778d921854b84ae7bd34a349a2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sat, 7 Jan 2012 06:57:47 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: A more obvious version of grab_header. Instead of relying on sysct_head_next(NULL) to magically return the right header for the root directory instead explicitly transform NULL into the root directories header. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
