Subject: [folded-merged] mm-correct-type-for-vmalloc-vm_flags-fields-fix.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Sat, 02 Aug 2025 11:39:15 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250802183915.98B39C4CEEF@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: fixup very disguised vmalloc flags parameter
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-correct-type-for-vmalloc-vm_flags-fields-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-correct-type-for-vmalloc-vm_flags-fields.patch

Subject: mm: fixup very disguised vmalloc flags parameter
Date: Tue, 29 Jul 2025 13:48:50 +0100
The declare_vma() function in arm64 arch code liberally mixes the concepts
of VMAs and near-identically named vmalloc data structures, so I
accidentally changed the 'vm_flags' field' that is assigned to a 'vma'
thinking it was... the vm_flags field of a vma, which it turns out, it
isn't.
Revert the type from vm_flags_t to unsigned long.
Given vm_flags_t == unsigned long, there is no change in any behaviour
before or after this patch, but in future this will matter.
