Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 4/4] ax.25: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

From: Joel Granados via B4 Relay <devnull+j.granados.samsung.com@...nel.org>

> This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
> empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will
> reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory
> bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
> https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
> 
> Avoid a buffer overflow when traversing the ctl_table by ensuring that
> AX25_MAX_VALUES is the same as the size of ax25_param_table. This is
> done with a BUILD_BUG_ON where ax25_param_table is defined and a
> CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE guard in the unnamed enum definition as well as
> in the ax25_dev_device_up and ax25_ds_set_timer functions.
> 
> The overflow happened when the sentinel was removed from
> ax25_param_table. The sentinel's data element was changed when
> CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE was undefined. This had no adverse effects as it
> still stopped on the sentinel's null procname but needed to be addressed
> once the sentinel was removed.
