Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.26 3/5][SYSCTL]: Add the ->permissions callback on the ctl_table_root.
Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 15:00:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47BAC4F4.9090706@openvz.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <47BAC38F.10100@openvz.org>

When the table came from some other root, this root may affect
the table's permissions, depending on who is working with the
table.

The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch. All the rest is
just pushing the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm
function.

This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.
