From 3654654f7aa79a37dde130afb7409c55b11807e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Engelhardt Date: Tue, 16 Nov 2010 09:52:32 -0800 Subject: netlink: let nlmsg and nla functions take pointer-to-const args The changed functions do not modify the NL messages and/or attributes at all. They should use const (similar to strchr), so that callers which have a const nlmsg/nlattr around can make use of them without casting. While at it, constify a data array.
