Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] sysctl: treewide: constify argument
ctl_table_root::permissions(table)
The permissions callback is not supposed to modify the ctl_table.
Enforce this expectation via the typesystem.
The patch was created with the following coccinelle script:
@@
identifier func, head, ctl;
@@
int func(
struct ctl_table_header *head,
- struct ctl_table *ctl)
+ const struct ctl_table *ctl)
{ ... }
(insert_entry() from fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c is a false-positive)
The three changed locations were validated through manually inspection
and compilation.
In addition a search for '.permissions =' was done over the full tree to
look for places that were missed by coccinelle.
None were found.
This change also is a step to put "struct ctl_table" into .rodata
throughout the kernel.
