mm/vma: add vma_flags_empty(), vma_flags_and(), vma_flags_diff_pair()

2026-04-05T20:53:38+00:00

Patch series "mm/vma: convert vm_flags_t to vma_flags_t in vma code", v4.

This series converts a lot of the existing use of the legacy vm_flags_t
data type to the new vma_flags_t type which replaces it.

In order to do so it adds a number of additional helpers:

* vma_flags_empty() - Determines whether a vma_flags_t value has no bits
  set.

* vma_flags_and() - Performs a bitwise AND between two vma_flags_t values.

* vma_flags_diff_pair() - Determines which flags are not shared between a
  pair of VMA flags (typically non-constant values)

* append_vma_flags() - Similar to mk_vma_flags(), but allows a vma_flags_t
  value to be specified (typically a constant value) which will be copied
  and appended to to create a new vma_flags_t value, with additional flags
  specified to append to it.

* vma_flags_same() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is exactly equal to
  a set of VMA flags.

* vma_flags_same_mask() - Determines if a vma_flags_t value is eactly equal
  to another vma_flags_t value (typically constant).

* vma_flags_same_pair() - Determines if a pair of vma_flags_t values are
  exactly equal to one another (typically both non-constant).

* vma_flags_to_legacy() - Converts a vma_flags_t value to a vm_flags_t
  value, used to enable more iterative introduction of the use of
  vma_flags_t.

* legacy_to_vma_flags() - Converts a vm_flags_t value to a vma_flags-t
  value, for the same purpose.

* vma_flags_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a vma_flags_t value contain
  the single flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that
  flag mask is empty, is defined to return false. Useful for
  config-predicated VMA flag mask defines.

* vma_test() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain a specific singular VMA
  flag.

* vma_test_any() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of a set of VMA
  flags.

* vma_test_any_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain any of the
  flags specified in another, typically constant, vma_flags_t value.

* vma_test_single_mask() - Tests whether a VMA's flags contain the single
  flag specified in an input vma_flags_t flag mask, or if that flag mask is
  empty, is defined to return false. Useful for config-predicated VMA flag
  mask defines.

* vma_clear_flags() - Clears a specific set of VMA flags from a vma_flags_t
  value.

* vma_clear_flags_mask() - Clears those flag set in a vma_flags_t value
  (typically constant) from a (typically not constant) vma_flags_t value.

The series mostly focuses on the the VMA specific code, especially that
contained in mm/vma.c and mm/vma.h.

It updates both brk() and mmap() logic to utils vma_flags_t values as much
as is practiaclly possible at this point, changing surrounding logic to be
able to do so.

It also updates the vma_modify_xxx() functions where they interact with VMA
flags directly to use vm_flags_t values where possible.

There is extensive testing added in the VMA userland tests to assert that
all of these new VMA flag functions work correctly.


This patch (of 25):

Firstly, add the ability to determine if VMA flags are empty, that is no
flags are set in a vma_flags_t value.

Next, add the ability to obtain the equivalent of the bitwise and of two
vma_flags_t values, via vma_flags_and_mask().

Next, add the ability to obtain the difference between two sets of VMA
flags, that is the equivalent to the exclusive bitwise OR of the two sets
of flags, via vma_flags_diff_pair().

vma_flags_xxx_mask() typically operates on a pointer to a vma_flags_t
value, which is assumed to be an lvalue of some kind (such as a field in a
struct or a stack variable) and an rvalue of some kind (typically a
constant set of VMA flags obtained e.g.  via mk_vma_flags() or
equivalent).

However vma_flags_diff_pair() is intended to operate on two lvalues, so
use the _pair() suffix to make this clear.

Finally, update VMA userland tests to add these helpers.

We also port bitmap_xor() and __bitmap_xor() to the tools/ headers and
source to allow the tests to work with vma_flags_diff_pair().

tools: bitmap: add missing bitmap_[subset(), andnot()]

2026-02-12T23:42:57+00:00

The bitmap_subset() and bitmap_andnot() functions are not present in the
tools version of include/linux/bitmap.h, so add them as subsequent patches
implement test code that requires them.

We also add the missing __bitmap_subset() to tools/lib/bitmap.c.

radix tree test suite: put definition of bitmap_clear() into lib/bitmap.c

2024-07-10T21:24:27+00:00

In tools/ directory, function bitmap_clear() is currently only used in
object file tools/testing/radix-tree/xarray.o.

But instead of keeping a bitmap.c with only bitmap_clear() definition in
radix-tree's own directory, it would be more proper to put it in common
directory lib/.

Sync the kernel definition and link some related libs, no functional
change is expected.

lib/bitmap: change type of bitmap_weight to unsigned long

2022-07-15T13:35:54+00:00

bitmap_weight() doesn't return negative values, so change it's type
to unsigned long. It may help compiler to generate better code and
catch bugs.

bitmap: Fix return values to be unsigned

2022-06-03T13:52:58+00:00

Both nodemask and bitmap routines had mixed return values that provided
potentially signed return values that could never happen. This was
leading to the compiler getting confusing about the range of possible
return values (it was thinking things could be negative where they could
not be). In preparation for fixing nodemask, fix all the bitmap routines
that should be returning unsigned (or bool) values.
