Wong" <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <1486022171-8076-14-git-send-email-hch@xxxxxx> From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit fd29f7af75b7adf250beccffa63746c6a88e2b74 upstream. A harmless warning just got introduced: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_dir2.h:40:8: error: type qualifiers ignored on function return type [-Werror=ignored-qualifiers] Removing the 'const' modifier avoids the warning and has no other effect.
