From 5449a5ca9bc27dd51a462de7ca0b1cd861cd2bd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: WANG Cong Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2015 10:55:45 -0800 Subject: addrconf: always initialize sysctl table data When sysctl performs restrict writes, it allows to write from a middle position of a sysctl file, which requires us to initialize the table data before calling proc_dostring() for the write case.
