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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/vma: introduce vma_flags_same[_mask/_pair]()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-vma-introduce-vma_flags_same.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: introduce vma_flags_same[_mask/_pair]()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:38:27 +0000

Add helpers to determine if two sets of VMA flags are precisely the same,
that is - that every flag set one is set in another, and neither contain
any flags not set in the other.

We also introduce vma_flags_same_pair() for cases where we want to compare
two sets of VMA flags which are both non-const values.

Also update the VMA tests to reflect the change, we already implicitly
test that this functions correctly having used it for testing purposes
previously.
