Subject: [PATCH 01/10] sysctl: Update sysctl_check_table
Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2007 18:49:46 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1d4xw9psl.fsf_-_@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1hcn8a2rq.fsf_-_@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Thu, 09 Aug 2007 14:09:29 -0600")



Well it turns out after I dug into the problems a
little more I was returning a few false positives
so this patch updates my logic to remove them.

- Don't complain about 0 ctl_names in sysctl_check_binary_path
  It is valid for someone to remove the sysctl binary interface
  and still keep the same sysctl proc interface.

- Count ctl_names and procnames as matching if they both don't
  exist.

- Only warn about missing min&max when the generic functions care.
