The patch titled constify pipe_buf_operations has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is constify-pipe_buf_operations.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: constify pipe_buf_operations From: Eric Dumazet <dada1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> - pipe/splice should use const pipe_buf_operations and file_operations - struct pipe_inode_info has an unused field "start" : get rid of it.
