[PATCH 0/3] lib80211: Constify struct lib80211_crypto_ops

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This serie constify struct lib80211_crypto_ops. This sutructure is
mostly some function pointers, so having it in a read-only section
when possible is safer.


The 1st patch, update some function prototypes and data structures in
lib80211.

The 2nd patch constifies some struct lib80211_crypto_ops in lib80211.
This moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall
security.

The 3rd patch does the same for staging/rtl8192e.

Note that the functions have looked in staging/rtl8192e look really
similar to the ones in lib80211. Maybe it could be removed in favor of
the latter.


Each patch in the serie has been compile tested ony.
