[PATCH 3/4] sysctl: Simplify ipc ns specific sysctls

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Nov 27 2006 - 00:08:13 EST


This patch refactors the ipc sysctl support so that it is
simpler, more readable, and prepares for fixing the bug
with the wrong values being returned in the sys_sysctl interface.

The function proc_do_ipc_string was misnamed as it never handled
strings. It's magic of when to work with strings and when to work
with longs belonged in the sysctl table. I couldn't tell if the
code would work if you disabled the ipc namespace but it certainly
looked like it would have problems.
