When proc_doulongvec_minmax() is used with an array of longs, and no min/max check requested (.extra1 or .extra2 being NULL), we dereference a NULL pointer for the second element of the array. Noticed while doing some changes in network stack for the "16TB problem" Fix is to not change min & max pointers in __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(), so that all elements of the vector share an unique min/max limit, like proc_dointvec_minmax().

By default the kernel tries to keep half as much memory free at each order as it does for one order below. This can be too agressive when running without swap. Change-Id: I5efc1a0b50f41ff3ac71e92d2efd175dedd54ead Signed-off-by: Arve Hjønnevåg <arve@android.com>

The three oom killer sysctl variables (sysctl_oom_dump_tasks, sysctl_oom_kill_allocating_task, and sysctl_panic_on_oom) are better declared in include/linux/oom.h rather than kernel/sysctl.c.

The kernel/hotplug sysctl variable (/proc/sys/kernel/hotplug file) was made conditional on CONFIG_NET by commit f743ca5e10f4145e0b3e6d11b9b46171e16af7ce (applied in 2.6.18) to fix problems with undefined references in 2.6.16 when CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y && !CONFIG_NET, but this restriction is no longer needed. This patch makes the kernel/hotplug sysctl variable depend only on CONFIG_HOTPLUG.
