We can change tcp_sk() to propagate its argument const qualifier, thanks to container_of_const(). We have two places where a const sock pointer has to be upgraded to a write one. We have been using const qualifier for lockless listeners to clearly identify points where writes could happen. Add tcp_sk_rw() helper to better document these. tcp_inbound_md5_hash(), __tcp_grow_window(), tcp_reset_check() and tcp_rack_reo_wnd() get an additional const qualififer for their @tp local variables. smc_check_reset_syn_req() also needs a similar change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
