From bfbe71109fa40e8cc05a0f99e6734b7d76ee00b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lorenzo Stoakes Date: Wed, 18 Jun 2025 20:42:53 +0100 Subject: mm: update core kernel code to use vm_flags_t consistently The core kernel code is currently very inconsistent in its use of vm_flags_t vs. unsigned long. This prevents us from changing the type of vm_flags_t in the future and is simply not correct, so correct this. While this results in rather a lot of churn, it is a critical pre-requisite for a future planned change to VMA flag type. Additionally, update VMA userland tests to account for the changes. To make review easier and to break things into smaller parts, driver and architecture-specific changes is left for a subsequent commit. The code has been adjusted to cascade the changes across all calling code as far as is needed. We will adjust architecture-specific and driver code in a subsequent patch. Overall, this patch does not introduce any functional change.
