What? These commits remove the sentinel element (last empty element) from the sysctl arrays of all the files under the "kernel/" directory that use a sysctl array for registration. The merging of the preparation patches [1] to mainline allows us to remove sentinel elements without changing behavior. This is safe because the sysctl registration code (register_sysctl() and friends) use the array size in addition to checking for a sentinel [2].
Hi, looks like *this* "patch" made it to the sysctl tree [1], breaking b4 for everyone else (as there's a "--- b4-submit-tracking ---" magic in the tree history now) on next-20240422 Please drop it (again, I'm only talking about this empty cover letter).
