Subject: [patch] make more file_operation structs static
Newsgroups: gmane.linux.kernel
Date: 2006-06-29 20:32:18 GMT (3 years, 5 days, 3 hours and 59 minutes ago)
Hi,

this patch marks the static struct file_operations in drivers/char as
const. Making them const prevents accidental bugs, and moves them to
the .rodata section so that they no longer do any false sharing; in
addition with the proper debug option they are then protected against
corruption..
