Subject: [PATCH 0/5] mm: Pass pointers to page accessors
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 10:41:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220630084124.691207-1-linus.walleij@linaro.org> (raw)
In a recent change to the Arm architecture with the end goal
of removing highmem we need to convert virt_to_phys() and
virt_to_pfn() to static inline functions.
This will make them strongly typed.
However since virt_to_* is always implemented as macros they
have become polymorphic and accept both (void *) and
e.g. unsigned long as arguments.
Other functions such as virt_to_page() simply wrap
virt_to_pfn() and get affected indirectly.
To be able to proceed, patch mm to use (void *) as argument
to affected functions in all instances.
Linus Walleij (5):
lib/test_free_pages.c: Pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
mm/highmem: Pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
mm: kfence: Pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
mm: gup: Pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
mm: nommu: Pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
