sysctl table check failed ... Writable sysctl directory

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

 



Stephane,

For a couple of weeks now the kernel has been complaining about
a couple of "Writable sysctl directories".  When I pulled from
Linus latest git tree today, the complaint got louder with an
added stack trace ... pointing at pfm_init().

This patch fixes the complaint.  Did you need mode 0755 for
some reason, or should I just apply this?
