[PATCH] sysctl: x25: remove unnecessary insert_at_head from register_sysctl_table
There has not been much maintenance on sysctl in years, and as a result is
there is a lot to do to allow future interesting work to happen, and being
ambitious I'm trying to do it all at once :)
The patches in this series fall into several general categories.
- Removal of useless attempts to override the standard sysctls
- Registers of sysctl numbers in sysctl.h so someone else does not use
the magic number and conflict.
- C99 conversions so it becomes possible to change the layout of
struct ctl_table without breaking everything.
- Removal of useless claims of module ownership, in the proc dir entries
- Removal of sys_sysctl support where people had used conflicting sysctl
numbers. Trying to break glibc or other applications by changing the
ABI is not cool. 9 instances of this in the kernel seems a little
extreme.
- General enhancements when I got the junk I could see out.
This patch:
Since x25 uses unique binary numbers inserting yourself at the head of the
search list for sysctls so you can override already registered sysctls is
pointless.
