Subject: [PATCH] mm: use enum for vm_flags
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 16:21:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251007162136.1885546-1-aliceryhl@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251002075202.11306-1-acsjakub@amazon.de>
The bindgen tool is better able to handle BIT(_) declarations when used
in an enum.

Hi Jakub,
what do you think about modifying the patch like this to use an enum? It
resolves the issues brought up in
https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAH5fLghTu-Zcm9e3Hy07nNtvB_-hRjojAWDoq-hhBYGE7LPEbQ@mail.gmail.com/
Feel free to squash this patch into your patch.
