[merged mm-stable] mm-update-all-remaining-mmap_prepare-users-to-use-vma_flags_t.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: update all remaining mmap_prepare users to use vma_flags_t
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-update-all-remaining-mmap_prepare-users-to-use-vma_flags_t.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: update all remaining mmap_prepare users to use vma_flags_t
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 16:06:18 +0000

We will be shortly removing the vm_flags_t field from vm_area_desc so we
need to update all mmap_prepare users to only use the dessc->vma_flags
field.

This patch achieves that and makes all ancillary changes required to make
this possible.

This lays the groundwork for future work to eliminate the use of
vm_flags_t in vm_area_desc altogether and more broadly throughout the
kernel.

While we're here, we take the opportunity to replace VM_REMAP_FLAGS with
VMA_REMAP_FLAGS, the vma_flags_t equivalent.

No functional changes intended.
