Subject: [PATCH v1] mm: convert folio_page() back to a macro
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 16:00:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250923140058.2020023-1-david@redhat.com> (raw)
In commit 73b3294b1152 ("mm: simplify folio_page() and folio_page_idx()")
we converted folio_page() into a static inline function. However
briefly afterwards in commit a847b17009ec ("mm: constify highmem related
functions for improved const-correctness") we had to add some nasty
const-away casting to make the compiler happy when checking const
correctness.
So let's just convert it back to a simple macro so the compiler can
check const correctness properly. There is the alternative of
using a _Generic() similar to page_folio(), but there is not a lot of
benefit compared to just using a simple macro.
