From 4a7b29f6509470a7e63dd67e516268fbef226194 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Weißschuh Date: Fri, 22 Mar 2024 18:05:57 +0100 Subject: sysctl: move sysctl type to ctl_table_header MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Move the SYSCTL_TABLE_TYPE_{DEFAULT,PERMANENTLY_EMPTY} enums from ctl_table to ctl_table_header. Removing the mutable member is necessary to constify static instances of struct ctl_table. Move the initialization of the sysctl_mount_point type into init_header() where all the other header fields are also initialized. As a side-effect the memory usage of the sysctl core is reduced. Each ctl_table_header instance can manage multiple ctl_table instances and is only allocated when the table is actually registered. This saves 8 bytes of memory per ctl_table on 64bit, 4 due to the enum field itself and 4 due to padding.
