Functions qeth_get_ipa_msg and qeth_get_ipa_cmd_name are modifying the last member of global arrays without any locking that I can see. If two instances of either function are running at the same time, it could cause a race ultimately leading to an array overrun (the contents of the last entry of the array is the only guarantee that the loop will ever stop). Performing the lookups without modifying the arrays is admittedly slower (two comparisons per iteration instead of one) but these are operations which are rare (should only be needed in error cases or when debugging, not during successful operation) and it seems still less costly than introducing a mutex to protect the arrays in question. As a side bonus, it allows us to declare both arrays as const data.
