The patch titled Subject: virtio: pci: constify ioreadX() iomem argument (as in generic implementation) has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is virtio-pci-constify-ioreadx-iomem-argument-as-in-generic-implementation.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/virtio-pci-constify-ioreadx-iomem-argument-as-in-generic-implementation.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/virtio-pci-constify-ioreadx-iomem-argument-as-in-generic-implementation.patch 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 and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Krzysztof Kozlowski <krzk@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: virtio: pci: constify ioreadX() iomem argument (as in generic implementation) The ioreadX() helpers have inconsistent interface. On some architectures void *__iomem address argument is a pointer to const, on some not. Implementations of ioreadX() do not modify the memory under the address so they can be converted to a "const" version for const-safety and consistency among architectures.
