Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: update comments to new registration APIs
Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2024 19:00:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240810-sysctl-procname-null-comment-v1-1-816cd335de1b@weissschuh.net> (raw)

The sysctl registration APIs do not need a terminating table entry
anymore and with commit acc154691fc7 ("sysctl: Warn on an empty procname element")
even emit warnings if such a sentinel entry is supplied.

While at it also remove the mention of "table->de" which was removed in
commit 3fbfa98112fc ("[PATCH] sysctl: remove the proc_dir_entry member for the sysctl tables")
back in 2007.
