[PATCH] drm/vkms: Constify struct configfs_item_operations and configfs_group_operations

[Christophe JAILLET]

'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
  21554	  10096	    128	  31778	   7c22	drivers/gpu/drm/vkms/vkms_configfs.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  22546	   9104	    128	  31778	   7c22	drivers/gpu/drm/vkms/vkms_configfs.o

Claude review: drm/vkms: Constify struct configfs_item_operations and configfs_group_operations

[Claude Code Review Bot]

Patch Review

**Status: Clean**

The patch adds `const` to 13 structure definitions across `drivers/gpu/drm/vkms/vkms_configfs.c`:

- 8 `configfs_item_operations` instances: `crtc_item_operations`, `plane_possible_crtcs_item_operations`, `plane_item_operations`, `encoder_possible_crtcs_item_operations`, `encoder_item_operations`, `connector_item_operations`, `connector_possible_encoders_item_operations`, `device_item_operations`
- 5 `configfs_group_operations` instances: `crtcs_group_operations`, `planes_group_operations`, `encoders_group_operations`, `connectors_group_operations`, `device_group_ops`

All of these are statically initialized with function pointers and never modified after initialization, making `const` appropriate. The parent `config_item_type` struct stores these via `const` pointers, so no cast or type mismatch is introduced.

The size data in the commit message is consistent: `text` increases by 992 bytes, `data` decreases by 992 bytes, and the total (`dec`) stays at 31778, confirming the structures moved from `.data` to `.rodata` as expected.

No correctness, style, or completeness issues.

**Reviewed-by: appropriate.**

Claude review: drm/vkms: Constify struct configfs_item_operations and configfs_group_operations

Subject: drm/vkms: Constify struct configfs_item_operations and configfs_group_operations

This is a single-patch cleanup that adds `const` qualifiers to all `struct configfs_item_operations` and `struct configfs_group_operations` instances in the vkms configfs driver. The change is trivially correct, well-motivated, and a net positive for security and code hygiene.

The `config_item_type` structure in `include/linux/configfs.h:67-68` already declares these fields as `const` pointers:

```c
const struct configfs_item_operations    *ct_item_ops;
const struct configfs_group_operations   *ct_group_ops;
```

So the framework explicitly expects and supports `const` here. Other subsystems (e.g., USB gadget configfs) already use `const` for these structures. The commit message is clear, includes before/after size data showing the expected text/data shift (~992 bytes moved from writable data to read-only text), and notes it was compile-tested.

**Verdict: Patch looks good. No issues found.**
