Subject: [PATCH sysctl-next 1/2] sysctl: collapse redundant CONFIG_SYSCTL nesting in kernel/sysctl.c
Date: Fri, 7 Aug 2026 17:47:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <anX-II_sAoJQy83X@redhat.com> (raw)

After the removal of CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL, several #ifdef CONFIG_SYSCTL
blocks ended up nested inside the outer (now the same) CONFIG_SYSCTL
guards.

Collapse them and remove a now-stale "/proc/sys support" comment which
referred to CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL.
