sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler

2020-04-27T06:07:40+00:00

Instead of having all the sysctl handlers deal with user pointers, which is rather hairy in terms of the BPF interaction, copy the input to and from userspace in common code. This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Andrey Ignatov Signed-off-by: Al Viro

net: Convert uses of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

2013-06-13T09:36:09+00:00

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

2012-04-21T01:22:30+00:00

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.

2012-04-21T01:21:17+00:00

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

2009-11-12T10:05:06+00:00

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.

sysctl: remove "struct file *" argument of ->proc_handler

2009-09-24T14:21:04+00:00

It's unused. It isn't needed -- read or write flag is already passed and sysctl shouldn't care about the rest. It _was_ used in two places at arch/frv for some reason.
