Great, this succinctly expresses what you want!
This patch series splitted into smaller patches was initially posted
as a single large patch:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20250827192233.447920-1-max.kellermann@xxxxxxxxx/
I started this work when I tried to constify the Ceph filesystem code,
but found that to be impossible because many "mm" functions accept
non-const pointer, even though they modify nothing.
And as Vlasta said, this is great context.
Yes, that's valuable information, and the series is looking lovely now.
