Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle) e650bb30ca mm: rename VMA flag helpers to be more readable
Patch series "mm: vma flag tweaks".

The ongoing work around introducing non-system word VMA flags has
introduced a number of helper functions and macros to make life easier
when working with these flags and to make conversions from the legacy use
of VM_xxx flags more straightforward.

This series improves these to reduce confusion as to what they do and to
improve consistency and readability.

Firstly the series renames vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to
make it abundantly clear that this function tests whether any of the flags
are set (as opposed to vma_flags_test_all()).

It then renames vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any() for the same
reason.  Note that we drop the 'flags' suffix here, as
vma_desc_test_any_flags() would be cumbersome and 'test' implies a flag
test.

Similarly, we rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() for
consistency.

Next, we have a couple of instances (erofs, zonefs) where we are now
testing for vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT) &&
vma_desc_test_any(desc, VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).

This is silly, so this series introduces vma_desc_test_all() so these
callers can instead invoke vma_desc_test_all(desc, VMA_SHARED_BIT,
VMA_MAYWRITE_BIT).

We then observe that quite a few instances of vma_flags_test_any() and
vma_desc_test_any() are in fact only testing against a single flag.

Using the _any() variant here is just confusing - 'any' of single item
reads strangely and is liable to cause confusion.

So in these instances the series reintroduces vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test() as helpers which test against a single flag.

The fact that vma_flags_t is a struct and that vma_flag_t utilises sparse
to avoid confusion with vm_flags_t makes it impossible for a user to
misuse these helpers without it getting flagged somewhere.

The series also updates __mk_vma_flags() and functions invoked by it to
explicitly mark them always inline to match expectation and to be
consistent with other VMA flag helpers.

It also renames vma_flag_set() to vma_flags_set_flag() (a function only
used by __mk_vma_flags()) to be consistent with other VMA flag helpers.

Finally it updates the VMA tests for each of these changes, and introduces
explicit tests for vma_flags_test() and vma_desc_test() to assert that
they behave as expected.


This patch (of 6):

On reflection, it's confusing to have vma_flags_test() and
vma_desc_test_flags() test whether any comma-separated VMA flag bit is
set, while also having vma_flags_test_all() and vma_test_all_flags()
separately test whether all flags are set.

Firstly, rename vma_flags_test() to vma_flags_test_any() to eliminate this
confusion.

Secondly, since the VMA descriptor flag functions are becoming rather
cumbersome, prefer vma_desc_test*() to vma_desc_test_flags*(), and also
rename vma_desc_test_flags() to vma_desc_test_any().

Finally, rename vma_test_all_flags() to vma_test_all() to keep the
VMA-specific helper consistent with the VMA descriptor naming convention
and to help avoid confusion vs.  vma_flags_test_all().

While we're here, also update whitespace to be consistent in helper
functions.
