In kernel/sysctl.c, you can define a ctl_table entry that has a proc_handler of proc_dointvec and also define your own strategy routine. It turns out that the strategy routine is not called, despite the comments saying it should be. echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/foo invokes sys_write() -> proc_writesys() -> do_rw_proc() -> proc_dointvec() and completely ignores the strategy field. The strategy is only used on the do_sysctl() path, which is deprecated. Is this deliberate?
