Subject: Ack to merge through DRM? WAS [PATCH v5 1/9] fs: Constify vma
 argument to vma_is_dax

Alexander,

Could you ack merging the below patch through a DRM tree?

Thanks,

Thomas Hellstrom

The function is used by upcoming vma_is_special_huge() with which we want
to use a const vma argument. Since for vma_is_dax() the vma argument is
only dereferenced for reading, constify it.
