The newly added 'flags' variable is unused and causes a warning if
CONFIG_SHMEM is disabled, since the shmem_acct_size() macro it is passed
into does nothing:

mm/shmem.c: In function '__shmem_file_setup':
mm/shmem.c:5816:23: error: unused variable 'flags' [-Werror=unused-variable]
5816 | unsigned long flags = (vm_flags & VM_NORESERVE) ? SHMEM_F_NORESERVE : 0;
| ^~~~~

Replace the two macros with equivalent inline functions tto get the
argument checking.

Fixes: 6ff1610ced56 ("mm: shmem: use SHMEM_F_* flags instead of VM_* flags")

That's still not upstream, right?

$ git tag --contains 6ff1610ced56

So we can likely just squash it into the problematic commit before
proceeding with it?

It's mm-nonmm-stable, I don't think fixups can go there.

Ah, I only looked at mm-stable and mm-unstable.

Confused why this is in nomm-stable and not mm-stable.


Anyhow:
