[merged mm-stable] mm-constify-various-inline-functions-for-improved-const-correctness.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: constify various inline functions for improved const-correctness
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-constify-various-inline-functions-for-improved-const-correctness.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: constify various inline functions for improved const-correctness
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2025 22:50:19 +0200

We select certain test functions plus folio_migrate_refs() from
mm_inline.h which either invoke each other, functions that are already
const-ified, or no further functions.

It is therefore relatively trivial to const-ify them, which provides a
basis for further const-ification further up the call stack.

One exception is the function folio_migrate_refs() which does write to the
"new" folio pointer; there, only the "old" folio pointer is being
constified; only its "flags" field is read, but nothing written.
