Patch series "Constify struct page arguments". While working on various solutions to the 32-bit struct page size regression, one of the problems I found was the networking stack expects to be able to pass const struct page pointers around, and the mm doesn't provide a lot of const-friendly functions to call. The root tangle of problems is that a lot of functions call VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(), which calls dump_page(), which calls a lot of functions which don't take a const struct page (but could be const). This patch (of 6): The only caller of __dump_page() now opencodes dump_page(), so remove it as an externally visible symbol.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
