[PATCH] make more file_operation structs static 2006-07-03T22:26:59+00:00 Arjan van de Ven arjan@infradead.org 2006-07-03T07:24:21+00:00 62322d2554d2f9680c8ace7bbf1f97d8fa84ad1a Mark the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as const. Making them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to the .rodata section so that they no longer do any false sharing; in addition with the proper debug option they are then protected against corruption..
