[PATCH 0/2] sysctl: share commonly used constants

From: Matteo Croce
Date: Mon Apr 08 2019 - 18:09:31 EST


In the sysctl code there are a lot of duplicate constants used to validate
the user input, which could be put in a shared place. Some of them are not
even constant, fix this with the following patches.
The first one declares the shared constants, the second one makes use of
them for the kernel/ sysctls.
If merged, I will send separate patches for the other susystems.

Matteo Croce (2):
proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range check
kernel: use sysctl shared variables for range check
