From 9548906b2bb7ff09e12c013a55d669bef2c8e121 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:44:02 +0900 Subject: xattr: Constify ->name member of "struct xattr". Since everybody sets kstrdup()ed constant string to "struct xattr"->name but nobody modifies "struct xattr"->name , we can omit kstrdup() and its failure checking by constifying ->name member of "struct xattr".
