4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ 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. Fixes: 1fc4d33fed12 ("xfs: replace xfs_mode_to_ftype table with switch statement") Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.
