[PATCH 0/4] Introduce sysctl registration helpers

[Olaf Kirch]

Subject: Introduce sysctl registration helpers

1/4 register_sysctl_path
	This patch introduces a new mechanism for registering a sysctl
	table, without having to create those funky dummy tables for
	all the parent directories.

2/4 nfs-sysctl
	This makes the NFS client code register a sysctl table, and
	adds a sysctl for max_readahead

3/4 nfsd-sysctl
	This makes the NFS server code register a sysctl table,
	and adds a sysctl for max readdirplus data we return.
	We had problems with some clients not being able to 
	grok more than 4K worth of data.

4/4 fs-sysctl-register-convert
	Converts lockd and sunrpc to use the new sysctl
	registration code.

Why does this go to the nfs list?  Also have you seen Al's larger sysctl
rework at 

	http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/sysctl.git;a=summary

that includes something similar.

Al, any plans to submit your sysctl rework?

I wanted to get the feedback from the NFS folks on this set of
patches first, that's the only reason.

No, I haven't. I'll take a look there.

Thanks,
Olaf
