sysctl: fix compatibility with procps sysctl
Busybox sysctl is incompatible with procps when '.' appears in directory name, mostly happens with VLANs. busybox syntax (since 2008): net.ipv4.conf.eth0.100.mc_forwarding procps syntax (since 2002): net.ipv4.conf.eth0/100.mc_forwarding (supported by both: net/ipv4/conf/eth0.100/mc_forwarding) Use procps syntax for output; for input, allow both. function old new delta sysctl_dots_to_slashes 86 143 +57 sysctl_act_on_setting 443 453 +10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 67/0) Total: 67 bytes Signed-off-by: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <vda.linux@googlemail.com>
