From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 17:52:32 +0000 (-0800) Subject: netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const args X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~21446^2~556 X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3654654f7aa79a37dde130afb7409c55b11807e7;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const args The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes at all. They should use const (similar to strchr), so that callers which have a const nlmsg/nlattr around can make use of them without casting. While at it, constify a data array.
