The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: nommu: pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-nommu-pass-a-pointer-to-virt_to_page.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: nommu: pass a pointer to virt_to_page()
Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 10:41:24 +0200
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/nommu.c: In function 'free_page_series':
mm/nommu.c:501:50: warning: passing argument 1 of 'virt_to_pfn'
makes pointer from integer without a cast [-Wint-conversion]
struct page *page = virt_to_page(from);
Fix this with an explicit cast.
