Its filename is autofs-make-struct-path-const-in-autofs4_dir_open.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/autofs-make-struct-path-const-in-autofs4_dir_open.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/autofs-make-struct-path-const-in-autofs4_dir_open.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ian Kent <ikent@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: autofs: make struct path const in autofs4_dir_open() There's no reason to copy the file->f_path in autofs4_dir_open() and f_path is not modified so change it to a "const struct path *".
