[PATCH] md-cluster: Constify struct md_cluster_operations

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

 



'struct md_cluster_operations' is not modified in this driver.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  51941	   1442	     80	  53463	   d0d7	drivers/md/md-cluster.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  52133	   1246	     80	  53459	   d0d3	drivers/md/md-cluster.o
