  • f221e726b   sysctl: simplify ->strategy ... Browse Code »

    name and nlen parameters passed to ->strategy hook are unused, remove
    them. In general ->strategy hook should know what it's doing, and don't
    do something tricky for which, say, pointer to original userspace array
    may be needed (name).

  • 32df81cbd   Isolate the UTS namespace's domainname and hostname back ... Browse Code »

    Commit 7d69a1f4a72b18876c99c697692b78339d491568 ("remove CONFIG_UTS_NS
    and CONFIG_IPC_NS") by Cedric Le Goater accidentally removed the code
    that prevented the uts->hostname and uts->domainname values from being
    overwritten from another namespace.

    In other words, setting hostname/domainname via sysfs (echo xxx >
    /proc/sys/kernel/(host|domain)name) cased the new value to be set in
    init UTS namespace only.

    Return the isolation back.

  • 7d69a1f4a   remove CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS ... Browse Code »

    CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS have very little value as they only
    deactivate the unshare of the uts and ipc namespaces and do not improve
    performance.

  • 0b4d41471   [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctl ... Browse Code »

    The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered
    sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is
    pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented.

    I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of
    register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register
    duplicate sysctl entries.

    So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in
    the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future
    enhancments harder.

  • 39732acd9   [PATCH] sysctl: move utsname sysctls to their own file ... Browse Code »

    This is just a simple cleanup to keep kernel/sysctl.c from getting to crowded
    with special cases, and by keeping all of the utsname logic to together it
    makes the code a little more readable.
