The patch titled
sysctl: remove broken cdrom binary sysctls (update)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
sysctl-remove-broken-cdrom-binary-sysctls-update.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into
sysctl-remove-broken-cdrom-binary-sysctls.patch
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: sysctl: remove broken cdrom binary sysctls (update)
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Eric W. Biederman)
The binary interface for the cdrom sysctls can't possilby work. So remove
the binary sysctls and reduce cdrom_sysctl_handler to it's essentials (to
kill the uses of ctl_name).
Since the last time this patch was posted I radically
simplified cdrom_sysctl_helper to meet address Alan's objections.
