[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: add mk_vma_flags() bitmap flag macro helper
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-add-mk_vma_flags-bitmap-flag-macro-helper.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: add mk_vma_flags() bitmap flag macro helper
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 16:06:12 +0000

This patch introduces the mk_vma_flags() macro helper to allow easy
manipulation of VMA flags utilising the new bitmap representation
implemented of VMA flags defined by the vma_flags_t type.

It is a variadic macro which provides a bitwise-or'd representation of all
of each individual VMA flag specified.

Note that, while we maintain VM_xxx flags for backwards compatibility
until the conversion is complete, we define VMA flags of type vma_flag_t
using VMA_xxx_BIT to avoid confusing the two.

This helper macro therefore can be used thusly:

vma_flags_t flags = mk_vma_flags(VMA_READ_BIT, VMA_WRITE_BIT);

Testing has demonstrated that the compiler optimises this code such that
it generates the same assembly utilising this macro as it does if the
flags were specified manually, for instance:

vma_flags_t get_flags(void)
{
	return mk_vma_flags(VMA_READ_BIT, VMA_WRITE_BIT, VMA_EXEC_BIT);
}

Generates the same code as:

vma_flags_t get_flags(void)
{
	vma_flags_t flags;

	vma_flags_clear_all(&flags);
	vma_flag_set(&flags, VMA_READ_BIT);
	vma_flag_set(&flags, VMA_WRITE_BIT);
	vma_flag_set(&flags, VMA_EXEC_BIT);

	return flags;
}

And:

vma_flags_t get_flags(void)
{
	vma_flags_t flags;
	unsigned long *bitmap = ACCESS_PRIVATE(&flags, __vma_flags);

	*bitmap = 1UL << (__force int)VMA_READ_BIT;
	*bitmap |= 1UL << (__force int)VMA_WRITE_BIT;
	*bitmap |= 1UL << (__force int)VMA_EXEC_BIT;

	return flags;
}

That is:

get_flags:
        movl    $7, %eax
        ret
