Subject: proc_dointvec: write a single value
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc1~260^2~2
X-Git-Url: https://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=563b04671017ea00ba563ebeebdc36bce79b1b60;p=net-next-2.6.git

proc_dointvec: write a single value

The commit 00b7c3395aec3df43de5bd02a3c5a099ca51169f
"sysctl: refactor integer handling proc code"
modified the behaviour of writing to /proc.
Before the commit, write("1\n") to /proc/sys/kernel/printk succeeded. But
now it returns EINVAL.

This commit supports writing a single value to a multi-valued entry.
