From d912b0cc1a617d7c590d57b7ea971d50c7f02503 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:34:13 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] sysctl: add a parent entry to ctl_table and set the parent entry Add a parent entry into the ctl_table so you can walk the list of parents and find the entire path to a ctl_table entry.
