The ascii versions of the sysctls that show up in /proc/sys are definitely still valid. > So, as long as these entries are not > accessible from sysctl it is safe to run without strategy handler but if > values can be changed then we will need strategy handler to > properly call update_defense_level() as done in proc_do_defense_mode() > as proc_handler. There could be side effects if new mode is not applied. Yes. The current mode of 0644 allows them to be both read and updated with sys_sysctl. By removing the ctl_name entry those entries become inaccessible from the /proc/sys interface. Which is some easier then writing a strategy routine.
