Subject: Re: [PATCH 03/10] mm: convert prctl to mm_flags_*() accessors

* Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@...cle.com> [250812 11:47]:
> As part of the effort to move to mm->flags becoming a bitmap field, convert
> existing users to making use of the mm_flags_*() accessors which will, when
> the conversion is complete, be the only means of accessing mm_struct flags.
>
