This patch series moves sysctls of vm_table in kernel/sysctl.c to
places where they actually belong, and do some related code clean-ups.
After this patch series, all sysctls in vm_table have been moved into its
own files, meanwhile, delete vm_table.

All the modifications of this patch series base on
linux-next(tags/next-20241010). To test this patch series, the code was
compiled with both the CONFIG_SYSCTL enabled and disabled on arm64 and
x86_64 architectures. After this patch series is applied, all files
under /proc/sys/vm can be read or written normally.

Changes in v3:
  - change patch1~10, patch14 title suggested by Joel Granados
  - change sysctl_stat_interval to static type in patch1
  - add acked-by from Paul Moore in patch7
  - change dirtytime_expire_interval to static type in patch9
  - add acked-by from Anna Schumaker in patch11

Changes in v2:
  - fix sysctl_max_map_count undeclared issue in mm/nommu.c for patch6
  - update changelog for patch7/12, suggested by Kees/Paul
  - fix patch8, sorry for wrong changes and forget to built with NOMMU
  - add reviewed-by from Kees except patch8 since patch8 is wrong in v1
  - add reviewed-by from Jan Kara, Christian Brauner in patch12

General comment for the patchset in general. I would consider making the
new sysctl tables const. There is an effort for doing this and it has
already lanted in linux-next. So if you base your patch from a recent
next release, then it should just work. If you *do* decide to add a
const qualifier, then note that you will create a dependency with the
sysctl patchset currently in next and that will have to go in before.

Best


Sorry, I don't understand what is the meaning of "create a dependency with the sysctl patchset".

Do you just want me to change all "static struct ctl_table" type table into "static const struct ctl_table" type in my patchset?
