tls_build_proto() uses WRITE_ONCE() to assign a 'const' pointer to a 'non-const' pointer. Cleanups to the implementation of WRITE_ONCE() mean that this will give rise to a compiler warning, just like a plain old assignment would do:
| net/tls/tls_main.c: In function ‘tls_build_proto’: | ./include/linux/compiler.h:229:30: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers] | net/tls/tls_main.c:640:4: note: in expansion of macro ‘smp_store_release’ | 640 | smp_store_release(&saved_tcpv6_prot, prot); | | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Drop the const qualifier from the local 'prot' variable, as it isn't needed.
