[PATCH v2] sysctl: treewide: constify ctl_table_header::ctl_table_arg

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

 



To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to
remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the
sysctl core.
One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.

Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of
struct ctl_table instances.
No functional change.

Changes in v2:
- Add link to original monolithic series
- Send to all maintainers again
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240322-sysctl-const-table-arg-v1-1-88436d34961b@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
---
This is a standalone version of PATCH 11 from my original const-sysctl
series at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20231204-const-sysctl-v2-0-7a5060b11447@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/

It is based upon the branch constfy of
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl.git/

This patch is meant to be applied through the sysctl tree.

It was implemented by manually searching for "ctl_table_arg"
throughout the tree and inspecing each found site.

If somebody comes up with a cocciscript for this, I'll be happy to use
that.
