sys/kern kern_sysctl.c
Log:
Remove the panic when trying to register a sysctl with an oid too high.
This stops panics on unloading modules which define their own sysctl sets.
However, this also removes the protection against somebody actually
defining a static sysctl with an oid in the range of the dynamic ones,
which would break badly if there is already a dynamic sysctl with
the requested oid.
Apparently, the algorithm for removing sysctl sets needs a bit more work.
For the present, the panic I introduced only leads to Bad Things (tm).
Submitted by: many users of -current :(
Pointy hat to: roam (myself) for not testing rev. 1.112 enough.
