Subject: [PATCH 3/6] userfaultfd: use userfaultfd_*() helpers instead of open coded flag tests
Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 15:17:40 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260823-uffd-vm-flags-v1-v1-3-3086981b33cf@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260823-uffd-vm-flags-v1-v1-0-3086981b33cf@kernel.org>
Move userfaultfd_{missing,wp,minor,rwp}() and userfaultfd_protected()
ahead of uffd_disable_huge_pmd_share() and uffd_disable_fault_around()
and make the latter two use the helpers rather than open coded VMA flag
masks.
Convert open coded VMA flag test in mfill_get_vma() to userfaultfd_wp()
as well.
With every user of the per-VMA uffd modes going through the helpers,
their underlying representation can be changed in the next step.
No functional change.
