[v3,0/2] sysctl: treewide: prepare ctl_table_root for ctl_table constification

Message

Thomas Weißschuh March 15, 2024, 6:11 p.m. UTC

The two patches were previously submitted on their own.
In commit f9436a5d0497
("sysctl: allow to change limits for posix messages queues")
a code dependency was introduced between the two callbacks.
This code dependency results in a dependency between the two patches, so
now they are submitted as a series.

The series is meant to be merged via the sysctl tree.

There is an upcoming series that will introduce a new implementation of
.set_ownership and .permissions which would need to be adapted [0].

These changes ere originally part of the sysctl-const series [1].
To slim down that series and reduce the message load on other
maintainers to a minimum, the patches are split out.

Will put this to test and then try to rebase it to 6.9-rc1 once it comes
out.

Thx.

Thanks!
Your changes to the commit messages look good.

For my other changes I'm planning to resubmit all of them during the
weekend or next week.
