[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 00/13] sysctl: spring cleaning

Me and Xiaoming are working on some kernel/sysctl.c spring cleaning.
During a recent linux-next merge conflict it became clear that
the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c creates too many conflicts,
and so we need to do away with stuffing everyone's knobs on this
one file.

This is part of that work. This is not expected to get merged yet, but
since our delta is pretty considerable at this point, we need to piece
meal this and collect reviews for what we have so far. This follows up
on some of his recent work.

This series focuses on a new helper to deal with subdirectories and
empty subdirectories. The terminology that we will embrace will be
that things like "fs", "kernel", "debug" are based
directories, and
directories underneath this are subdirectories.

In this case, the cleanup ends up also trimming the amount of
code we have for sysctls.

If this seems reasonable we'll kdocify this a bit too.

This code has been boot tested without issues, and I'm letting 0day do
its thing to test against many kconfig builds. If you however spot
any issues please let us know.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 01/13] sysctl: add new register_sysctl_subdir() helper

Often enough all we need to do is create a subdirectory so that
we can stuff sysctls underneath it. However, *if* that directory
was already created early on the boot sequence we really have no
need to use the full boiler plate code for it, we can just use
local variables to help us guide sysctl to place the new leaf files.

So use a helper to do precisely this.

[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH 12/13] sysctl: add helper to register empty subdir

The way to create a subdirectory from the base set of directories
is a bit obscure, so provide a helper which makes this clear, and
also helps remove boiler plate code required to do this work.
