Message-ID: <47C56B81.8000101@openvz.org>
Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 16:54:09 +0300
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@...nvz.org>

Subject: [PATCH 3/3] 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.
