To be able to constify instances of struct ctl_tables it is necessary to remove ways through which non-const versions are exposed from the sysctl core. One of these is the ctl_table_arg member of struct ctl_table_header.
Constify this reference as a prerequisite for the full constification of struct ctl_table instances. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Weißschuh <[email protected]> --- Changes in v2: - Add link to original monolithic series - Send to all maintainers again - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] --- This is a standalone version of PATCH 11 from my original const-sysctl series at https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[email protected]/ It is based upon the branch constfy of https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl.git/ This patch is meant to be applied through the sysctl tree. It was implemented by manually searching for "ctl_table_arg" throughout the tree and inspecing each found site. If somebody comes up with a cocciscript for this, I'll be happy to use that. --- drivers/net/vrf.c | 2 +- include/linux/sysctl.h | 2 +- ipc/ipc_sysctl.c | 2 +- ipc/mq_sysctl.c | 2 +- kernel/ucount.c | 2 +- net/ax25/sysctl_net_ax25.c | 2 +- net/bridge/br_netfilter_hooks.c | 2 +- net/core/sysctl_net_core.c | 2 +- net/ieee802154/6lowpan/reassembly.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/devinet.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/ip_fragment.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/route.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/sysctl_net_ipv4.c | 2 +- net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/addrconf.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/netfilter/nf_conntrack_reasm.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/reassembly.c | 2 +- net/ipv6/sysctl_net_ipv6.c | 6 +++--- net/ipv6/xfrm6_policy.c | 2 +- net/mpls/af_mpls.c | 4 ++-- net/mptcp/ctrl.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_standalone.c | 2 +- net/netfilter/nf_log.c | 2 +- net/sctp/sysctl.c | 2 +- net/smc/smc_sysctl.c | 2 +- net/unix/sysctl_net_unix.c | 2 +- net/xfrm/xfrm_sysctl.c | 2 +- 27 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/vrf.c b/drivers/net/vrf.c index bb95ce43cd97..66f8542f3b18 100644 --- a/drivers/net/vrf.c +++ b/drivers/net/vrf.c @@ -1971,7 +1971,7 @@ static int vrf_netns_init_sysctl(struct net *net, struct netns_vrf *nn_vrf) static void vrf_netns_exit_sysctl(struct net *net) { struct netns_vrf *nn_vrf = net_generic(net, vrf_net_id);
