Subject: [PATCH] scsi: core: Do not declare scsi_cmnd pointers const
Date: Tue, 14 Oct 2025 15:04:25 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251014220426.3690007-1-bvanassche@acm.org> (raw)
This change allows removing multiple casts and hence improves type checking
by the compiler.
Cc: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de>
Suggested-by: John Garry <john.g.garry@oracle.com>
