Subject: [PATCH 10/10] sysctl: Remove the binary interface for aio-nr, aio-max-nr, acpi_video_flags
Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:03:23 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1abt08alg.fsf_-_@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1ejic8an8.fsf_-_@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Thu, 09 Aug 2007 19:02:19 -0600")
aio-nr, aio-max-nr, acpi_video_flags are unsigned long values
which sysctl does not handle properly with a 64bit kernel
and a 32bit user space.
Since no one is likely to be using the binary sysctl values
and the ascii interface still works, this patch just removes
support for the binary sysctl interface from the kernel.
