Subject: [PATCH 4/6] mm: Make compound_head const-preserving
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2021 00:15:29 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210416231531.2521383-5-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210416231531.2521383-1-willy@infradead.org>

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.
