The new ctl_table_size element will hold the size of the ctl_table arrays contained in the ctl_table_header. This value should eventually be passed by the callers to the sysctl register infrastructure. And while this commit introduces the variable, it does not set nor use it because that requires case by case considerations for each caller. It provides two important things: (1) A place to put the result of the ctl_table array calculation when it gets introduced for each caller. And (2) the size that will be used as the additional stopping criteria in the list_for_each_table_entry macro (to be added when all the callers are migrated) Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
