From 2267403af6a6c216ee034b68d64cedfef4212375 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rasmus Villemoes Date: Wed, 14 May 2014 10:01:57 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] mm: constify nmask argument to mbind() The nmask argument to mbind() is const according to the userspace header numaif.h, and since the kernel does indeed not modify it, it might as well be declared const in the kernel.
