I just noticed, since May 9th, linux-next (ARCH=metag, gcc 4.2.4, with
meta2_smp_defconfig) is showing loads of warnings due to the above
line:
include/linux/sched.h +1010 : warning: type qualifiers ignored on
function return type
Looks to me that the const serves no purpose in this context and could
be removed.
Cheers
James
