Functions that work on a pointer to virtual memory such as
virt_to_pfn() and users of that function such as
virt_to_page() are supposed to pass a pointer to virtual
memory, ideally a (void *) or other pointer. However since
many architectures implement virt_to_pfn() as a macro,
this function becomes polymorphic and accepts both a
(unsigned long) and a (void *).
If we instead implement a proper virt_to_pfn(void *addr)
function the following happens (occurred on arch/arm):
drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_qp_tx.c:32:23: warning: incompatible
integer to pointer conversion passing 'dma_addr_t' (aka 'unsigned int')
to parameter of type 'const void *' [-Wint-conversion]
drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_qp_tx.c:32:37: warning: passing argument
1 of 'virt_to_pfn' makes pointer from integer without a cast
[-Wint-conversion]
drivers/infiniband/sw/siw/siw_qp_tx.c:538:36: warning: incompatible
integer to pointer conversion passing 'unsigned long long'
to parameter of type 'const void *' [-Wint-conversion]
Fix this with an explicit cast. In one case where the SIW
SGE uses an unaligned u64 we need a double cast modifying the
virtual address (va) to a platform-specific uintptr_t before
casting to a (void *).

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.
