[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: convert folio_page() back to a macro
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

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.
