cover Introduce sysctl registration helpers

Subject: Introduce sysctl registration helpers

1/4 register_sysctl_path
This patch introduces a new mechanism for registering a sysctl table, without having to create those funky dummy tables for all the parent directories.

2/4 nfs-sysctl
This makes the NFS client code register a sysctl table, and adds a sysctl for max_readahead

3/4 nfsd-sysctl
This makes the NFS server code register a sysctl table, and adds a sysctl for max readdirplus data we return. We had problems with some clients not being able to grok more than 4K worth of data.

4/4 fs-sysctl-register-convert
Converts lockd and sunrpc to use the new sysctl registration code.

Why does this go to the nfs list? Also have you seen Al's larger sysctl rework at

http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/viro/sysctl.git;a=summary

that includes something similar.

Al, any plans to submit your sysctl rework?

I wanted to get the feedback from the NFS folks on this set of patches first, that's the only reason.

No, I haven't. I'll take a look there.

Thanks,
Olaf
