Hi all,

After merging the sysctl tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc
ppc64_defconfig) failed like this:

ipc/mq_sysctl.c:115:24: error: initialization of 'int (*)(struct ctl_table_header *, const struct ctl_table *)' from incompatible pointer type 'int (*)(struct ctl_table_header *, struct ctl_table *)' [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  115 |         .permissions = mq_permissions,
      |                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ipc/mq_sysctl.c:115:24: note: (near initialization for 'set_root.permissions')
ipc/mq_sysctl.c:116:26: error: initialization of 'void (*)(struct ctl_table_header *, const struct ctl_table *, kuid_t *, kgid_t *)' from incompatible pointer type 'void (*)(struct ctl_table_header *, struct ctl_table *, kuid_t *, kgid_t *)' [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types]
  116 |         .set_ownership = mq_set_ownership,
      |                          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ipc/mq_sysctl.c:116:26: note: (near initialization for 'set_root.set_ownership')

Caused by commits

  a6dd7f5a787b ("sysctl: treewide: constify ctl_table_root::permissions")
  a56545552ecf ("sysctl: treewide: constify ctl_table_root::set_ownership")

interacting with commit

  7608b6a72ed0 ("sysctl: Allow to change limits for posix messages queues")

from the userns tree.

I have applied the following merge resolution patch.

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2023 14:12:02 +1100
Subject: [PATCH] fixup for "sysctl: treewide: constify
 ctl_table_root::permissions"

and "sysctl: treewide: constify ctl_table_root::set_ownership" interacting
with "sysctl: Allow to change limits for posix messages queues".
