Re: [Linaro-mm-sig] [PATCH 3/5] kobject: kset_uevent_ops: make filter() callback take a const *

From: Christian König
Date: Mon Nov 21 2022 - 04:52:35 EST


Am 21.11.22 um 10:46 schrieb Greg Kroah-Hartman:
The filter() callback in struct kset_uevent_ops does not modify the
kobject passed into it, so make the pointer const to enforce this
restriction. When doing so, fix up all existing filter() callbacks to
have the correct signature to preserve the build.
