[PATCH 0/5] misc filesystems: simplify sysctl registration
From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Fri Mar 10 2023 - 18:13:13 EST
This simplifies syctl registration for a few misc filesystems according
to our latest preference / guidance [0]. register_sysctl_table() incurs
possible recursion and we can avoid that by dealing with flat
directories with files in them, and having the subdirectories explicitly
named with register_sysctl().
As we phase these callers out we can deprecate / remove register_sysctl_table()
eventually.
If you're a maintainer feel free to pick up the patch or I'm also happy
to take it through sysctl-next if you like. These don't create
conflicts so there is no requirement they go throug sysclt-next at all.
I can pick up stragglers later.
