From 2ca794e5e86c800d7f98c4ebb8bd325099c0afe8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:20:32 +0000 Subject: net sysctl: Initialize the network sysctls sooner to avoid problems. If the netfilter code is modified to use register_net_sysctl_table the kernel fails to boot because the per net sysctl infrasturce is not setup soon enough. So to avoid races call net_sysctl_init from sock_init(). Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: Pavel Emelyanov Signed-off-by: David S.
