Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2007 12:07:23 +0900 From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.sakura.ne.jp> To: akpm@...ux-foundation.org Cc: ebiederm@...ssion.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: Check length at deprecated_sysctl_warning. Andrew, please replace previous patch with this one. This one returns -ENOTDIR. ---------- Original patch forgot to check args->nlen. I don't know why args->nlen == CTL_MAXNAME is rejected, but it has been rejected traditionally. Signed-off-by: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.SAKURA.ne.jp> Cc: "Eric W.
