Subject: [PATCH percpu#for-next] percpu: remove compile warnings caused by __verify_pcpu_ptr()

From: Tejun Heo <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:05:41 +0900

If percpu pointer is const, __verify_pcpu_ptr() triggers warnings like
the following.

 drivers/net/loopback.c: In function 'loopback_get_stats':
 drivers/net/loopback.c:109: warning: initialization discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Fix it by adding const to the verification target pointer used in
__verify_pcpu_ptr().
