gnn added a comment to D42096: A skeleton kernel module suitable for creating new such modules..

I have to say I prefer the version with the module_data, even though it is admittedly longer, because it shows the reader how to explicitly add module data. A much simpler verison with SYSINIT and SYSUNINIT doesn't easily show someone how to not only make a module but how to create their private module data. I could create a version with both using a #define #if setup, so we can show both styles. Let me know is that would be preferred or if what we have here is acceptable.

gnn accepted D26447: add deprecation notice to ftpd.

Now that this review has devolved to the point of discussing democracy, rather than the deprecation of a piece of long surviving, but, inherently insecure code in our base system, it's time for people to step back from their keyboards and realize that removing this from base does not make it impossible to install or use, it simply reduces the default attack surface of our system. So, let's let emaste put this deprecation in for 14, and move on.

I believe the use of this boolean is the wrong approach. If you want to check and then lock you'll need to an an INP_RLOCKED similar to INP_WLOCKED which can be found in in_pcb.h.
