[PATCH RFC 1/8] fs, block: move blk_mode_t and fop_flags_t into <linux/types.h>

From: Christian Brauner

Date: Tue Jun 02 2026 - 06:12:10 EST


blk_mode_t and fop_flags_t are both plain 'unsigned int __bitwise' flag
typedefs, exactly like the gfp_t, slab_flags_t and fmode_t that already
live in <linux/types.h>. Move them there so they are available
everywhere without having to drag in a subsystem header.
