The quilt patch titled
Subject: tools/testing/vma: test vma_flags_count,vma[_flags]_test_single_mask
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
tools-testing-vma-test-vma_flags_countvma_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

From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)" <ljs@kernel.org>
Subject: tools/testing/vma: test vma_flags_count,vma[_flags]_test_single_mask
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:38:33 +0000

Update the VMA tests to assert that vma_flags_count() behaves as expected,
as well as vma_flags_test_single_mask() and vma_test_single_mask().

For the test functions we can simply update the existing vma_test(), et
al. test to also test the single_mask variants.

We also add some explicit testing of an empty VMA flag to this test to
ensure this is handled properly.

In order to test vma_flags_count() we simply take an existing set of flags
and gradually remove flags ensuring the count remains as expected
throughout.

We also update the vma[_flags]_test_all() tests to make clear the
semantics that we expect vma[_flags]_test_all(..., EMPTY_VMA_FLAGS) to
return true, as trivially, all flags of none are always set in VMA flags.
