The virt_to_foo() functions were written back in the Linux dark ages and
they're horrid. A byzantine mixture of macros and typecasts which make
it really hard to work out what type their argument actually should be.
virt_to_page() takes an argument of type `unsigned long'. (except for
the include/asm-generic/page.h version which takes any damn type at
all).
virt_to_phys() takes an argument of `const void *' (weird, huh?)
But arch/mips/include/asm/page.h does
#define virt_to_page(kaddr) pfn_to_page(PFN_DOWN(virt_to_phys(kaddr)))
thereby passing an `unsigned long' where a void* was expected.
So perhaps something along these lines:

I'm not quite sure it's the case on MIPS, but I remember on x86 one of
the reasons this was done as a macro was to avoid a include dependency
loop with struct page.

The MIPS <asm/page.h> uses a forward declaration for the same reason since
a very long time. These days struct page is defined in <linux/mm_types.h>
but that file needs pgprot_t (which is defined in <asm/page.h> ...) to be
defined first so can't be included from the to of page.h.

No disagreement there.

You meant it takes a pointer argument, for example:
mm/page_alloc.c:
__free_pages(virt_to_page((void *)addr), order);
mm/slob.c:
static inline struct slob_page *slob_page(const void *addr)
{
return (struct slob_page *)virt_to_page(addr);
}
> virt_to_phys() takes an argument of `const void *' (weird, huh?)
volatile void * seems to be the most common type. MIPS is the only arch
that accepts volatile const void *; Alpha uses a plain void *.
I don't recall why MIPS uses volatile const - probably to silence warnings
about discarding qualifiers from pointer target type.

Doesn't compile because pfn_to_page is defined in <asm-generic/memory_model.h>
which will only be included further down and moving the order of the order
of things around to get this to build is getting ugly, so I gave up on it.
Anyway, since virt_to_page and virt_to_phys (imho :-) take the same
argument times I'm in favor of Kevin's patch.

lol. I think you're right. What a crock.
looky, they're popping up everywhere:
: static void perf_mmap_free_page(unsigned long addr)
: {
: struct page *page = virt_to_page(addr);
:
And mm/nommu.c:
: int __get_user_pages(struct task_struct *tsk, struct mm_struct *mm,
: unsigned long start, int nr_pages, int flags,
: struct page **pages, struct vm_area_struct **vmas)
: {
: ...
: pages[i] = virt_to_page(start);
: static void free_page_series(unsigned long from, unsigned long to)
: {
: for (; from < to; from += PAGE_SIZE) {
: struct page *page = virt_to_page(from);
Heaven knows how many more there are. I guess we should drag x86's
virt_to_page()/virt_to_phys() into the 1980's by doing some
compile-time arg checking?

yup, I'll queue it.
