Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 12/30] sysctl: net: use sysctl_field in IPv6 xfrm sysctls
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2026 21:42:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <c2f875e9200cceda4ca23bf1a2fc11df6f5336ef.1787771905.git.legion@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1787771905.git.legion@kernel.org>
The IPv6 xfrm sysctl table is cloned for every non-init network
namespace only to rebind the xfrm6_gc_thresh data pointer. The
descriptor itself is static and does not need per-net storage.
Use a sysctl_field descriptor so the data pointer is derived from the
network namespace registration context. This keeps the table const
and removes the per-net allocation and free path.
