Subject: mm: reintroduce vma_flags_test() as a singular flag test
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5e6d45d720ca299cc82d84948c4ba622fff64f22;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

mm: reintroduce vma_flags_test() as a singular flag test

Since we've now renamed vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to be
very clear as to what we are in fact testing, we now have the opportunity
to bring vma_flags_test() back, but for explicitly testing a single VMA
flag.

This is useful, as often flag tests are against a single flag, and
vma_flags_test_any(flags, VMA_READ_BIT) reads oddly and potentially causes
confusion.

We use sparse to enforce that users won't accidentally pass vm_flags_t to
this function without it being flagged so this should make it harder to
get this wrong.

Of course, passing vma_flags_t to the function is impossible, as it is a
struct.

Also update the VMA tests to reflect this change.
