Subject: [PATCH] mm: use enum for vm_flags
Date: Wed, 8 Oct 2025 12:54:27 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251008125427.68735-1-acsjakub@amazon.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251007162136.1885546-1-aliceryhl@google.com>

redefine VM_* flag constants with BIT()

Make VM_* flag constant definitions consistent - unify all to use BIT()
macro and define them within an enum.

The bindgen tool is better able to handle BIT(_) declarations when used
in an enum.

Also add enum definitions for tracepoints.

We have previously changed VM_MERGEABLE in a separate bugfix. This is a
follow-up to make all the VM_* flag constant definitions consistent, as
suggested by David in [1].

Hi Alice,

thanks for the patch, I squashed it in (should I add your signed-off-by
too?) and added the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM calls pointed out by Derrick.

I have the following points to still address, though: 

- can the fact that we're not controlling the type of the values if
  using enum be a problem? (likely the indirect control we have through
  the highest value is good enough, but I'm not sure)

- where do TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM calls belong?
  I see them placed e.g. in include/trace/misc/nfs.h for nfs or
  arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmutrace.h, but I don't see a corresponding file for
  mm.h - does this warrant creating a separate file for these
  definitions?

- with the need for TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM calls, do we still deem this
  to be a good trade-off? - isn't fixing all of these in
  rust/bindings/bindings_helper.h better?

@Derrick, can you point me to how to test for the issue you pointed out?

Thanks,
Jakub
