[merged mm-stable] mm-introduce-vma_flags_count-and-vma_test_single_mask.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: introduce vma_flags_count() and vma[_flags]_test_single_mask()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-introduce-vma_flags_count-and-vma_test_single_mask.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: introduce vma_flags_count() and vma[_flags]_test_single_mask()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:38:32 +0000

vma_flags_count() determines how many bits are set in VMA flags, using
bitmap_weight().

vma_flags_test_single_mask() determines if a vma_flags_t set of flags
contains a single flag specified as another vma_flags_t value, or if the
sought flag mask is empty, it is defined to return false.

This is useful when we want to declare a VMA flag as optionally a single
flag in a mask or empty depending on kernel configuration.

This allows us to have VM_NONE-like semantics when checking whether the
flag is set.

In a subsequent patch, we introduce the use of VMA_DROPPABLE of type
vma_flags_t using precisely these semantics.

It would be actively confusing to use vma_flags_test_any_single_mask() for
this (and vma_flags_test_all_mask() is not correct to use here, as it
trivially returns true when tested against an empty vma flags mask).

We introduce vma_flags_count() to be able to assert that the compared flag
mask is singular or empty, checked when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled.

Also update the VMA tests as part of this change.
