From 6703ddfcce61ad66db606085a8d42dcab264f840 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 00:34:07 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sysctl: remove support for CTL_ANY There are currently no users in the kernel for CTL_ANY and it only has effect on the binary interface which is practically unused. So this complicates sysctl lookups for no good reason so just remove it. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
