[PATCH 0/6] Constify struct page arguments

["Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>]

While working on various solutions to the 32-bit struct page size
regression, one of the problems I found was the networking stack expects
to be able to pass const struct page pointers around, and the mm doesn't
provide a lot of const-friendly functions to call.  The root tangle of
problems is that a lot of functions call VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), which calls
dump_page(), which calls a lot of functions which don't take a const
struct page (but could be const).

I have other things I need to work on, but I offer these patches as a few
steps towards being able to make dump_page() take a const page pointer.

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) (6):
  mm: Make __dump_page static
  mm/debug: Factor PagePoisoned out of __dump_page
  mm/page_owner: Constify dump_page_owner
  mm: Make compound_head const-preserving
  mm: Constify get_pfnblock_flags_mask and get_pfnblock_migratetype
  mm: Constify page_count and page_ref_count
