Subject: [PATCH] sched_setattr.2: Remove a const attribute
Date: Tue,  9 Jun 2015 14:11:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433851901-25034-1-git-send-email-ju.orth@gmail.com> (raw)

The attr argument of sched_setattr was documented as const but the
kernel will modify the size field of this struct if it contains an
invalid value. See the documentation of the size field for details.
