Hi,
in 2.6.21 register_sysctl_table(), struct ctl_table and probably something else did change. Unfortunately so far I didn't figure out the "something else".
Please, if generic interface modifications render all available documentation in the web invalid, is it so hard to also write kernel api documentation then (even if it so far does not exist in the Documentation/ dir)?
I mean the time overhead of thousands of coders digging through git commits is huge, just because API changes are not properly documented.
E.g.: Documentation/api/sysctl.txt
Up to 2.6.20: struct ctl_table_header *register_sysctl_table(ctl_table * table, int insert_at_head);
Beginning with 2.6.21-rcX: struct ctl_table_header *register_sysctl_table(ctl_table * table);
struct ctl_table: removed entry struct proc_dir_entry *de added entry ctl_table *parent
[Maybe also something like]
Additionaly to different functions calls, programmers also need to change ...
Thanks, Bernd
