Subject[PATCH v2] mm/vmalloc: Separate put pages and flush VM flags
Date
When VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES was added, it was defined with the same value as
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS. This doesn't seem like it will cause any big
functional problems other than some excess flushing for VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES
allocations.

Redefine VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES to have its own value. Also, rearrange things
so flags are less likely to be missed in the future.

Fixes: b944afc9d64d ("mm: add a VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES flag for vmap")
Suggested-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org>
