This series makes further progress in converting usage of the deprecated vm_flags_t type to its replacement, vma_flags_t. It focuses on mm, though updates some users of mm APIs also. It updates: * The core do_mmap() code path for VMA mapping. * Unmapped area logic. * The usage of mm->def_vma_flags. * VMA page protection bit logic. * General usage of VMA flags in core mm code, mlock, mprotect, mremap.
Added to mm-new, thanks. And oh my, what a lot of pre-existing issues: https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260711-b4-vma-flags-mm-v2-0-0fa2357d5431@kernel.org
