Re: [PATCH v2 3/4] tools/testing/vma: eliminate dependency on vma->__vm_flags

[Lorenzo Stoakes]

Hi Andrew,

Some small silly issue here, for some reason I seemed to have vm_flags_reset()
available from the VMA tests when I tested but err, that doesn't seem to be the
case at all.

Again I realise this is in mm-stable so this might be fiddly so we might have to
live with minor bisect pain :(

Cheers, Lorenzo

Subject: [PATCH] tools/testing/vma: add missing stub

The vm_flags_reset() function is not available in the userland VMA tests,
so add a stub which const-casts vma->vm_flags and avoids the upcoming
removal of the vma->__vm_flags field.
