[merged mm-stable] mm-vma-update-create_init_stack_vma-to-use-vma_flags_t.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/vma: update create_init_stack_vma() to use vma_flags_t
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-vma-update-create_init_stack_vma-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/vma: update create_init_stack_vma() to use vma_flags_t
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2026 19:45:06 +0100

Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values in
create_init_stack_vma().

As part of this change we add VMA_STACK_EARLY and VMA_STACK_INCOMPLETE
vma_flags_t defines, and slightly rework create_init_stack_vma() for
clarity.

No functional change intended.
