[PATCH] mm: Constify arguments in default pxdp_get()
From: Anshuman Khandual
Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 02:49:43 EST
Generic MM default pxdp_get() helpers fetch the values contained in pgtable
entries via READ_ONCE() without modifying them. Just make their arguments
explicitly 'const' for some additional protection.

This patch applies on v7.2-rc3 and builds on many platforms. Some earlier
discussion could be found here. Platorm implementations for these helpers
could convert into these "const" format later if required.
