'struct kobj_type' is not modified in this driver. It is only used with kobject_init_and_add() which takes a "const struct kobj_type *" parameter. Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall security. On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example: Before: ====== text data bss dec hex filename 4082 792 8 4882 1312 drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 4210 672 8 4890 131a drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni <kch@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/e3d454173ffad30726c9351810d3aa7b75122711.1720462252.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
