* sysctl: Remove CTL_NONE and CTL_UNNUMBEREDEric W. Biederman2009-11-181-22/+0
| | | | | | | | Now that the sysctl structures no longer have a ctl_name field there is no reason to retain the definitions for CTL_NONE and CTL_UNNUMBERED, or to explain their historic usage. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
* Add Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txtAndrew Morton2007-07-161-0/+22
Poeple keep on adding new numbered sysctls, when they're supposed not to. Add a documentation file which explain why new sysctls should use CTL_UNNUMBERED. The next patch will sprinkle pointers to this throughout sysctl.c. Eric provided the text (thanks) Cc: "Eric W.
