From 5857c9209ce58f8e262889539ccdf63e73ad7a93 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 15:44:09 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mm: Mark anonymous struct field of 'struct vm_fault' as 'const' The fields of this struct are only ever read after being initialised, so mark it 'const' before somebody tries to modify it again. GCC will then complain (with an error) about modification of these fields after they have been initialised, although LLVM currently allows them without even a warning: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48755 Hopefully, future versions of LLVM will emit a warning.
