Re: [PATCH v4 35/38] mm: avoid use of VMA_SPECIAL_FLAGS in migrate_vma_setup()

flat view

From: sashiko-bot@kernel.org
Date: 2026-10-03 17:57:19
Also in: bpf, dri-devel, kvm, kvmarm, linux-perf-users, linux-rdma, linux-s390, linux-scsi, selinux

Now we have the expressive vma_is_mm_managed() and vma_is_fixed_mapping()
predicates, use them to determine whether to proceed with migration. This
drops the VMA_IO_BIT test, which is safe as mm-managed mappings may not set
it.

hugetlb mappings remain excluded, as they are fixed mappings.

No functional change intended.
