Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-highmem-pass-a-pointer-to-virt_to_page.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2022 17:17:23 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220718001724.7730EC341C0@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/highmem: pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-highmem-pass-a-pointer-to-virt_to_page.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/highmem: pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 10:41:21 +0200

Functions that work on a pointer to virtual memory such as virt_to_pfn()
and users of that function such as virt_to_page() are supposed to pass a
pointer to virtual memory, ideally a (void *) or other pointer.  However
since many architectures implement virt_to_pfn() as a macro, this function
becomes polymorphic and accepts both a (unsigned long) and a (void *).

If we instead implement a proper virt_to_pfn(void *addr) function the
following happens (occurred on arch/arm):

mm/highmem.c:153:29: warning: passing argument 1 of
  'virt_to_pfn' makes pointer from integer without a
  cast [-Wint-conversion]

We already have a proper void * pointer in the scope of this function
named "vaddr" so pass that instead.
