The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: convert THP VMA flag tests to use vma_flags_t
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-convert-thp-vma-flag-tests-to-use-vma_flags_t.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

------------------------------------------------------
From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" <ljs@kernel.org>
Subject: mm: convert THP VMA flag tests to use vma_flags_t
Date: Thu, 05 Nov 2026 21:30:56 +0000

Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values where
VMA flags are tested directly in the THP and khugepaged logic.

The thp_vma_allowable_orders() family of functions, hugepage_madvise() and
khugepaged_enter_vma() continue to take legacy flags for the time being.

Also update BUG_ON()'s to VM_WARN_ON_ONCE() while here.

No functional change intended.
