From d7321cd62470b70d2717dae5a963e7a8fabff4d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 01:02:44 -0700 Subject: sysctl: add the ->permissions callback on the ctl_table_root When reading from/writing to some table, a root, which this table came from, may affect this table's permissions, depending on who is working with the table. The core hunk is at the bottom of this patch. All the rest is just pushing the ctl_table_root argument up to the sysctl_perm() function. This will be mostly (only?) used in the net sysctls.
