The patch titled sysctl: clean up the sched debug sysctl usage has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sysctl-clean-up-the-sched-debug-sysctl-usage.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sysctl: clean up the sched debug sysctl usage From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> The ctl_name for the kernel directory is CTL_KERN - It is impoosible to write to sysctl directories so do not give users write permissions. This is enough to stop sysctl_check_table from complaining about the sched debug sysctls. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
