AKA
hdr = register_sysctl("fs", fs_table);
Ah, much cleaner thanks!
It is my hope you we can get rid of register_sysctl_table one of these
days. It was the original interface but today it is just a
compatibility wrapper.
I unfortunately ran out of steam last time before I finished converting
everything over.
Let's give it one more go. I'll start with the fs stuff.

.
If we register each feature in its own feature code file using register() to
register the sysctl interface. To avoid merge conflicts when different
features modify sysctl.c at the same time.
that is, try to Avoid mixing code with multiple features in the same code
file.
For example, the multiple file interfaces defined in sysctl.c by the
hung_task feature can be moved to hung_task.c.
Perhaps later, without centralized sysctl.c ?
Is this better?
Thanks

This is not generic so it can stay in this file.

This is generic so we can share it, I suggest we just rename this
for now to sysctl_neg_one, export it to a symbol namespace,
EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(sysctl_neg_one, SYSCTL) and then import it with
MODULE_IMPORT_NS(SYSCTL)

We want to wrap this around with CONFIG_SYSCTL, so a cleaner solution
is something like this:

And as per Eric, this is not needed, we can simplify this more, as noted
below.

You want instead something like::
struct ctl_table_header *srt;
srt = register_sysctl("kernel", hung_task_sysctls);
+
+ if (!srt)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ kmemleak_not_leak(srt);

+}
+
static int __init hung_task_init(void)
{
+ int ret = hung_task_sysctl_init();
+
+ if (ret != 0)
+ return ret;

And just #ifdef this around CONFIG_SYSCTL.

Thank you for your guidance, I will send the patch later
