Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: Remove unused ctl_table forward declarations
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:25:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251215-jag-sysctl_fw_decl-v1-1-2a9af78448f8@kernel.org> (raw)
Remove superfluous forward declarations of ctl_table from header files
where they are no longer needed. These declarations were left behind
after sysctl code refactoring and cleanup.
Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <joel.granados@kernel.org>

Apologies for such a big To: list. My idea is for this to go into
mainline through sysctl; get back to me if you prefer otherwise. On the
off chance that this has a V2, let me know if you want to be removed
from the To and I'll make that happen
