'struct devlink_region_ops' and 'struct mv88e6xxx_region' are not modified in this driver. Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so increases 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 18076 6496 64 24636 603c drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/devlink.o After: ===== text data bss dec hex filename 18652 5920 64 24636 603c drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/devlink.o Signed-off-by: Christophe JAILLET <christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/46040062161dda211580002f950a6d60433243dc.1751200453.git.christophe.jaillet@wanadoo.fr Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
