[PATCH 06/14] sysctl: Add size to register_sysctl

Wed Jul 26 07:06:26 PDT 2023


In order to remove the end element from the ctl_table struct arrays, we
replace the register_syctl function with a macro that will add the
ARRAY_SIZE to the new register_sysctl_sz function. In this way the
callers that are already using an array of ctl_table structs do not have
to change. We *do* change the callers that pass the ctl_table array as a
pointer.
