[merged mm-stable] mm-reintroduce-vma_desc_test-as-a-singular-flag-test.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: reintroduce vma_desc_test() as a singular flag test
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-reintroduce-vma_desc_test-as-a-singular-flag-test.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: reintroduce vma_desc_test() as a singular flag test
Date: Thu, 5 Mar 2026 10:50:18 +0000

Similar to vma_flags_test(), we have previously renamed vma_desc_test() to
vma_desc_test_any().  Now that is in place, we can reintroduce
vma_desc_test() to explicitly check for a single VMA flag.

As with vma_flags_test(), this is useful as often flag tests are against a
single flag, and vma_desc_test_any(flags, VMA_READ_BIT) reads oddly and
potentially causes confusion.

As with vma_flags_test() a combination of sparse and vma_flags_t being a
struct means that users cannot misuse this function without it getting
flagged.

Also update the VMA tests to reflect this change.
