[PATCH 0/7] sysctl: Move jiffies converters out of kernel/sysctl.c
==================================================================
* https://lore.kernel.org/20251017=jag=sysctl_jiffies=v1=0=175d81dfdf82@kernel.org
* In next
* Got a warning from linux-next
  - struct ctl_table was missing from include/linux/jiffies.h
  - pushed the fix to linux next
  - modified the ("sysctl: Move jiffies converters to kernel/time/jiffies.c")
    commit. In my local (jag/sysclt_jiffies) should have the fix.

* FIX NEEDED to protect converter users (jiffies & pipe)?
  The new macros are not protected by the CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL macro. This means
  that they always produce "full" (instead of no-ops) converter functions. This
  should **not** require a Bug Fix for the v6.19-rcX as none of these converter
  functions will ever get called. The proc functions are the only ones using
  these converters and they are no-ops when CONVIF_PROC_SYSCTL=n.

.. note::
  There should be an explicity protection for the converters (as with the proc
  functions); but this can be punted to 7.00. We are already working on a
  potential fix: [1]
