The patch titled sysctl: add proc_dointvec_unsigned() handler has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was sysctl-add-proc_dointvec_unsigned-handler.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: sysctl: add proc_dointvec_unsigned() handler From: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@xxxxxxxxx> Add a proc_dointvec_unsigned() sysctl handler for positive value cases.
