Subject: [PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.21-rc1~274^2~7
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=754661f143e70d66eae6c48532ca245aa05dec0e;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] mark struct inode_operations const 1

Many struct inode_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
