From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: sysctl: fold sysctl_writes_strict checks into helper The mode sysctl_writes_strict positional checks keep being copy and pasted as we add new proc handlers. Just add a helper to avoid code duplication. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170519033554.18592-4-mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Luis R.
