Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 0/2] sysctl: refactor ctl_table creation and change extra{1,2} type
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2026 04:35:15 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1770496163.git.wen.yang@linux.dev> (raw)
From: Wen Yang <wen.yang@linux.dev>
This series introduces macros to centralize ctl_table initialization,
preparing for future type changes to extra1/extra2 fields.
Following Joel's suggestion [1], we start with helpers that work for all
existing patterns before making invasive changes.
