From 51d4052b01ca555e0d1d5fe297b309beb6c64aa0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 21:37:14 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] watchdog/sysctl: Get rid of the #ifdeffery The sysctl of the nmi_watchdog file prevents writes by setting: min = max = 0 if none of the users is enabled. That involves ifdeffery and is competely non obvious. If none of the facilities is enabeld, then the file can simply be made read only. Move the ifdeffery into the header and use a constant for file permissions.
