Subject: [PATCH] mm: Constify arguments in default pxdp_get()
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 12:19:28 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918064928.793742-1-anshuman.khandual@arm.com> (raw)

Generic MM default pxdp_get() helpers fetch the values contained in pgtable
entries via READ_ONCE() without modifying them. Just make their arguments
explicitly 'const' for some additional protection.

This patch applies on v7.2-rc3 and builds on many platforms. Some earlier
discussion could be found here. Platorm implementations for these helpers
could convert into these "const" format later if required.
