• 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.
