Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: constify usage of struct lock_class_key where possible
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2026 23:05:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e43440b0-c96c-4866-91fc-cc29eef4578e@gmail.com> (raw)

Constify usage of struct lock_class_key where possible. This requires
to constify also usage of struct lockdep_subclass_key in two places.

Especially relevant is constification of lockdep_map.key, as it makes
clear that the key isn't changed during lifetime of struct lockdep_map.
