This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled xfs: constify the buffer pointer arguments to error functions to the 5.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: xfs-constify-the-buffer-pointer-arguments-to-error-functions.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From foo@baz Mon Sep 26 08:48:28 AM CEST 2022 From: Chandan Babu R <chandan.babu@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 24 Sep 2022 18:26:47 +0530 Subject: xfs: constify the buffer pointer arguments to error functions To: gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: sashal@xxxxxxxxxx, mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx, linux-xfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, djwong@xxxxxxxxxx, chandan.babu@xxxxxxxxxx, amir73il@xxxxxxxxx, leah.rumancik@xxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <20220924125656.101069-11-chandan.babu@xxxxxxxxxx> From: "Darrick J. Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> commit d243b89a611e83dc97ce7102419360677a664076 upstream. Some of the xfs error message functions take a pointer to a buffer that will be dumped to the system log. The logging functions don't change the contents, so constify all the parameters. This enables the next patch to ensure that we log bad metadata when we encounter it. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
