Subject: rbtree: add const qualifier to some functions
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.29-rc1~7
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4b477c47332367d35686bd2b808c2156b96d7c7;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

rbtree: add const qualifier to some functions

The 'rb_first()', 'rb_last()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_prev()' calls
take a pointer to an RB node or RB root. They do not change the
pointed objects, so add a 'const' qualifier in order to make life
of the users of these functions easier.

Indeed, if I have my own constant pointer &const struct my_type *p,
and I call 'rb_next(&p->rb)', I get a GCC warning:

warning: passing argument 1 of ‘rb_next’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type
