From: Arvind Yadav <arvind.yadav.cs@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/ksysfs.c: constify attribute_group structures. attribute_groups are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions working with attribute_groups provided by <linux/sysfs.h> work with const attribute_group. So mark the non-const structs as const. File size before: text data bss dec hex filename 1120 544 16 1680 690 kernel/ksysfs.o File size After adding 'const': text data bss dec hex filename 1160 480 16 1656 678 kernel/ksysfs.o Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/aa224b3cc923fdbb3edd0c41b2c639c85408c9e8.1498737347.git.arvind.yadav.cs@xxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arvind Yadav <arvind.yadav.cs@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Russell King <rmk+kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Dave Young <dyoung@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Hari Bathini <hbathini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/ksysfs.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN kernel/ksysfs.c~kernel-ksysfs-constify-attribute_group-structures kernel/ksysfs.c --- a/kernel/ksysfs.c~kernel-ksysfs-constify-attribute_group-structures +++ a/kernel/ksysfs.c @@ -234,7 +234,7 @@ static struct attribute * kernel_attrs[] NULL }; -static struct attribute_group kernel_attr_group = { +static const struct attribute_group kernel_attr_group = { .attrs = kernel_attrs, }; _ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
