From 2a1bf8f93b33992bb0457512b28d046e279bbd7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dave Gordon Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:58:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] lib/scatterlist: mark input buffer parameters as 'const' The 'buf' parameter of sg(p)copy_from_buffer() can and should be const-qualified, although because of the shared implementation of _to_buffer() and _from_buffer(), we have to cast this away internally. This means that callers who have a 'const' buffer containing the data to be copied to the sg-list no longer have to cast away the const-ness themselves. It also enables improved coverage by code analysis tools. Signed-off-by: Dave Gordon Cc: Akinobu Mita Cc: "Martin K.
