Subject: [PATCH] kernel: dma: Make CMA boot parameters __ro_after_init
Date: Sat, 12 Oct 2019 17:59:18 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191012122918.8066-1-mayhs11saini@gmail.com> (raw)
This parameters are not changed after early boot.
By making them __ro_after_init will reduce any attack surface in the
kernel.
