[PATCH 2/5] mm/highmem: Pass a pointer to virt_to_page()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Functions that work on a pointer to virtual memory such as
virt_to_pfn() and users of that function such as
virt_to_page() are supposed to pass a pointer to virtual
memory, ideally a (void *) or other pointer. However since
many architectures implement virt_to_pfn() as a macro,
this function becomes polymorphic and accepts both a
(unsigned long) and a (void *).

If we instead implement a proper virt_to_pfn(void *addr)
function the following happens (occurred on arch/arm):

mm/highmem.c:153:29: warning: passing argument 1 of
  'virt_to_pfn' makes pointer from integer without a
  cast [-Wint-conversion]

We already have a proper void * pointer in the scope of this
function named "vaddr" so pass that instead.
