The patch titled Subject: relay: allow the use of const callback structs has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was relay-allow-the-use-of-const-callback-structs.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: relay: allow the use of const callback structs None of the relay users require the use of mutable structs for callbacks, however the relay code does. Instead of assigning the default callback for subbuf_start, add a wrapper to conditionally call the client callback if available, and fall back to default behaviour otherwise. This lets all relay users make their struct rchan_callbacks const data.
