'struct mwifiex_if_ops' are not modified in these drivers. Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so increase overall security, especially when the structure holds some function pointers. On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example: Before: ====== text data bss dec hex filename 61439 4367 32 65838 1012e drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 61699 4127 32 65858 10142 drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kvalo@kernel.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/03d524b72f20a0302e4de5e0ebdc20ab69469dec.1737308889.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr
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.
