The patch titled sysctl: fix false positives when PROC_SYSCTL=n has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sysctl-fix-false-positives-when-proc_sysctl=n.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sysctl: fix false positives when PROC_SYSCTL=n From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Having ->procname but not ->proc_handler is valid when PROC_SYSCTL=n, people use such combination to reduce ifdefs with non-standard handlers.
