From 2374c09b1c8a883bb9b4b2fc3756703eeb618f4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 08:43:36 +0200 Subject: sysctl: remove all extern declaration from sysctl.c Extern declarations in .c files are a bad style and can lead to mismatches. Use existing definitions in headers where they exist, and otherwise move the external declarations to suitable header files.

This also means that the strings are always NUL-terminated by the common code, making the API a little bit safer. As most handler just pass through the data to one of the common handlers a lot of the changes are mechnical.
