[PATCH 06/13] mm/ksm: convert VMA flag tests to use vma_flags_t

From: Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)

Date: Thu Nov 05 2026 - 16:44:02 EST


Replace use of the legacy vm_flags_t flags with vma_flags_t values where
KSM tests VMA flags directly.

The ksm_madvise() interface continues to take legacy flags for the time
being.

No functional change intended.
