[PATCH 14/20] mm/vma: introduce vma_test[_any[_mask]](), and make inlining consistent

Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle) ljs at kernel.org
Fri Mar 13 06:16:12 AEDT 2026


Introduce helper functions and macros to make it convenient to test flags
and flag masks for VMAs, specifically:

* vma_test() - determine if a single VMA flag is set in a VMA.
* vma_test_any_mask() - determine if any flags in a vma_flags_t value are
			set in a VMA.
* vma_test_any() - Helper macro to test if any of specific flags are set.

Also, there are a mix of 'inline's and '__always_inline's in VMA helper
function declarations, update to consistently use __always_inline.

Finally, update the VMA tests to reflect the changes.
