[PATCH 14/14] sysctl: Use size as stopping criteria for list macro

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add header->ctl_table_size as an additional stopping criteria for the
list_for_each_table_entry macro. In this way it will execute until it
finds an "empty" ->procname or until the size runs out. Therefore if a
ctl_table array with a sentinel is passed its size will be too big (by
one element) but it will stop on the sentinel. On the other hand, if the
ctl_table array without a sentinel is passed its size will be just write
and there will be no need for a sentinel.
