The patch titled
     Subject: mm: constify highmem related functions for improved const-correctness
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-constify-highmem-related-functions-for-improved-const-correctness.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-constify-highmem-related-functions-for-improved-const-correctness.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything

Subject: mm: constify highmem related functions for improved const-correctness
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2025 22:50:21 +0200

Lots of functions in mm/highmem.c do not write to the given pointers and
do not call functions that take non-const pointers and can therefore be
constified.

This includes functions like kunmap() which might be implemented in a way
that writes to the pointer (e.g.  to update reference counters or mapping
fields), but currently are not.

kmap() on the other hand cannot be made const because it calls
set_page_address() which is non-const in some
architectures/configurations.
