From f8a7c1a976a6672204c7f4f0f694f33715dfa617 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Cox Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2009 13:13:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kfifo: Use "const" definitions Currently kfifo cannot be used by parts of the kernel that use "const" properly as kfifo itself does not use const for passed data blocks which are indeed const.
