Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-convert-folio_page-back-to-a-macro.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sun, 28 Sep 2025 11:52:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250928185235.95117C4CEF0@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: convert folio_page() back to a macro
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-convert-folio_page-back-to-a-macro.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: convert folio_page() back to a macro
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2025 16:00:58 +0200

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.
