Subject: [PATCH] block: Fix elevator name declaration
Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 00:57:41 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190710155741.11292-1-damien.lemoal@wdc.com> (raw)
The elevator_name field in struct elevator_type is declared as an array
of characters (ELV_NAME_MAX size) but in practice used as a string
pointer with its initialization done statically within each
elevator elevator_type structure declaration.
Change the declaration of elevator_name to the more appropriate
"const char *" type.
