From cf533ea53ebfae41be15b103d78e7ebec30b9969 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 05:22:42 -0400 Subject: tcp: add const qualifiers where possible Adding const qualifiers to pointers can ease code review, and spot some bugs. It might allow compiler to optimize code further. For example, is it legal to temporary write a null cksum into tcphdr in tcp_md5_hash_header() ? I am afraid a sniffer could catch the temporary null value... Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
