[PATCH v2 2/4] fs: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

From: Joel Granados via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Nov 21 2023 - 06:35:57 EST


From: Joel Granados <j.granados@xxxxxxxxxxx>

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@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/)

Remove sentinel elements ctl_table struct. Special attention was placed in
making sure that an empty directory for fs/verity was created when
CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES is not defined. In this case we use the
register sysctl call that expects a size.
