Subject: [PATCH 03/11] sysctl: clarify register_sysctl_init() base directory order
Date: Thu, 2 Mar 2023 12:28:18 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230302202826.776286-4-mcgrof@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230302202826.776286-1-mcgrof@kernel.org>
Relatively new docs which I added which hinted the base directories needed
to be created before is wrong, remove that incorrect comment. This has been
hinted before by Eric twice already [0] [1], I had just not verified that
until now. Now that I've verified that updates the docs to relax the context
described.
