Message-Id: <201002110453.12242.opurdila@ixiacom.com>
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:53:12 +0200
From: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@...acom.com>

Subject: [net-next PATCH v3 2/3] sysctl: add proc_dobitmap
The new function can be used to update bitmaps via /proc. Bits can be
set by writing positive values in the file and cleared by writing
negative values (e.g. 0 2 will set bits 1 and 3, -0 -2 will clear
them). Reading will show only the set bits.
