[PATCH] selftests/fs/mount-notify: fix the indentation in the fsmount test

[Sasha Levin]

A few lines in the fsmount test are indented with spaces instead of a
tab. That puts them deeper than the ASSERT_*() in front of them, which
ends in a for loop with an empty body, so clang warns:

  mount-notify_test.c:338:18: warning: for loop has empty body [-Wempty-body]

Indent them with tabs.

Amir's pending fanotify series moves this file to filesystems/fanotify/,
and its rename still applies on top of this.

That's an accident. Please send a patch adding it. Thanks for spotting it.

The namespaces tests are not in TARGETS, so "make kselftest" and the CI

[PATCH net-next] selftests: net: tcp_ao: make the netstat column pointer const

[Sasha Levin]

lookup_get_column() stores the result of strchr() on a const string in
a plain char pointer. Since glibc 2.43, strchr() returns a const char
pointer for a const argument when C23 features are enabled, as they
are with _GNU_SOURCE, so gcc and clang warn:

  lib/proc.c:61:16: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]

The pointer is only used to compute the length, so make it const.
