From f7f28ca98b9a7a99fc55df2dddcf49857ab004f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2014 16:07:57 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: constify nmask argument to mbind() The nmask argument to mbind() is const according to the userspace header numaif.h, and since the kernel does indeed not modify it, it might as well be declared const in the kernel.
