Subject: Re: [PATCH] net: always initialize sysctl ownership

Could you add few more words here to explain what the problem is
like commit 5ec27ec735ba ("fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c: fix the default
values of i_uid/i_gid on /proc/sys inodes.").

BTW, it seems that we can change the value even if the uid/gid is
invalid unlike the issue mentioned in 5ec27ec735ba.

So, the problem is just the invalid uid/gid exposed to userspace
or am I missing something ?

How about setting the default in proc_sys_make_inode() instead ?
because the default value configured by new_inode() is not
appropriate for procfs, IIUC.

Thanks!
