Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2009 00:59:52 +0100 From: re.emese@...il.com To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Emese Revfy <re.emese@...il.com>, netdev@...r.kernel.org, ilw@...ux.intel.com, linville@...driver.com, reinette.chatre@...el.com, yi.zhu@...el.com Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Constify struct iwl_ops for 2.6.32-git-053fe57ac v2 From: Emese Revfy <re.emese@...il.com> Hello everyone! The following patch series attempts to constify several structures that hold function pointers. This is only the initial batch, there are about over 150 candidate structures, some of which can be constified as well, I plan to submit them in the future. The list of constified structures in this series (* marks this thread): acpi_dock_ops address_space_operations backlight_ops block_device_operations dma_map_ops extent_io_ops file_lock_operations file_operations hv_ops intel_dvo_dev_ops item_operations * iwl_ops kgdb_arch kgdb_io kset_uevent_ops lock_manager_operations microcode_ops mtrr_ops neigh_ops nlmsvc_binding pci_raw_ops platform_hibernation_ops platform_suspend_ops snd_ac97_build_ops sysfs_ops usb_mon_operations wd_ops There are certain exceptions where a given instance of the structure cannot be const, they are marked with a comment in the patch. The patches compile fine with an allyesconfig kernel on i386 and x86_64. Please let me know if any of these structures should not be constified and any other issues you see with them. Changelog: ---------- v1 -> v2 - updated to linus-git-053fe57 - extended comments with a reference to code that prevents constification - split up patches by subsystem as suggested by Greg KH, Jiri Slaby - added all Acked-by's received so far - removed patch for super_operations for now - removed patch for ptmx_fops Thanks, Emese drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-1000.c | 2 +- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-3945.c | 2 +- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-4965.c | 2 +- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-5000.c | 4 ++-- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-6000.c | 4 ++-- 5 files changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
