Subject: [PATCH v2] timer/sysclt: Restrict timer migration sysctl values to 0 and 1
Date: Thu, 20 Apr 2017 11:48:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1492714113-9707-1-git-send-email-mhjungk@gmail.com> (raw)
timer_migration sysctl acts as a boolean switch, so the allowed values
should be restricted to 0 and 1.
Add the necessary extra fields to the sysctl table entry to enforce
that.
Testcase is ltp/runpwtests06.
