[PATCH net-next v3 1/2] net: pass const to msg_data_left()
Posted by Breno Leitao 8 months, 1 week ago
The msg_data_left() function doesn't modify the struct msghdr parameter,
so mark it as const. This allows the function to be used with const
references, improving type safety and making the API more flexible.
