Subject: mm: simplify and rename mm flags function for clarity
X-Git-Tag: v6.19-rc1~112^2~10
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=58eac97a8ba0bcfc5dffb347e40ea3006347ff38;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

mm: simplify and rename mm flags function for clarity

The __mm_flags_set_word() function is slightly ambiguous - we use 'set' to
refer to setting individual bits (such as in mm_flags_set()) but here we
use it to refer to overwriting the value altogether.

Rename it to __mm_flags_overwrite_word() to eliminate this ambiguity.

We additionally simplify the functions, eliminating unnecessary
bitmap_xxx() operations (the compiler would have optimised these out but
it's worth being as clear as we can be here).
