[PATCH] dlm: Constify struct configfs_item_operations and configfs_group_operations

From: Christophe JAILLET

Date: Sun Dec 14 2025 - 11:53:21 EST


'struct configfs_item_operations' and 'configfs_group_operations' are not
modified in this driver.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
text data bss dec hex filename
29436 12952 384 42772 a714 fs/dlm/config.o

After:
=====
text data bss dec hex filename
30076 12312 384 42772 a714 fs/dlm/config.o
