[patch 154/192] mm: make compound_head const-preserving

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

 



From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: make compound_head const-preserving

If you pass a const pointer to compound_head(), you get a const pointer
back; if you pass a mutable pointer, you get a mutable pointer back.  Also
remove an unnecessary forward definition of struct page; we're about to
dereference page->compound_head, so it must already have been defined.
