This looks like a sensible cleanup, but the commit title and message aren't
that clear.

Can you please make this:

| arm64: fix types in copy_highpage()
|
| In copy_highpage() the `kto` and `kfrom` local variables are pointers to
| struct page, but these are used to hold arbitrary pointers to kernel memory.
| Each call to page_address() returns a void pointer to memory associated with
| the relevant page, and copy_page() expects void pointers to this memory.
|
| This inconsistency was introduced in commit:
|
|   2563776b41c31908 ("arm64: mte: Tags-aware copy_{user_,}highpage() implementations")
|
| ... and while this doesn't appear to be harmful in practice it is clearly wrong.
|
| Correct this by making `kto` and `kfrom` void pointers.
|
| Fixes: 2563776b41c31908 ("arm64: mte: Tags-aware copy_{user_,}highpage() implementations")

With that:

Thanks,
Mark.


OK, sure , will do in next version.

Thanks.
Tong.
