From bff97cf11b261972cae90299432238cc9a9a6a51 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joel Granados Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2023 12:49:57 +0200 Subject: sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size is available when the removal occurs. We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network register calls. The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence. table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in __register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that point.
