Subject: [PATCH net-next 14/19] net ipv6:  Convert addrconf to use register_net_sysctl
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:41:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1397zffx7.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1aa27ia6h.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Thu, 19 Apr 2012 16:17:10 -0700")


Using an ascii path to register_net_sysctl as opposed to the slightly
awkward ctl_path allows for much simpler code.

We no longer need to malloc dev_name to keep it alive the length of our
sysctl register instead we can use a small temporary buffer on the
stack.
