'struct kobj_type' is not modified in this driver. It is only used with
kobject_init_and_add() which takes a "const struct kobj_type *" parameter.
Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.
On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
text data bss dec hex filename
4082 792 8 4882 1312 drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o
After:
=====
text data bss dec hex filename
4210 672 8 4890 131a drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv-sysfs.o
