[PATCH 1/1] mm: introduce vm_flags_reset_once to replace WRITE_ONCE vm_flags updates

From: Suren Baghdasaryan
Date: Tue Jan 31 2023 - 19:01:39 EST


Provide vm_flags_reset_once() and replace the vm_flags updates which used
WRITE_ONCE() to prevent compiler optimizations.

Fixes: 0cce31a0aa0e ("mm: replace vma->vm_flags direct modifications with modifier calls")
Reported-by: Hyeonggon Yoo <42.hyeyoo@xxxxxxxxx>
Signed-off-by: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx>

Notes:
- The patch applies cleanly over mm-unstable
- The SHA in Fixes: line is from mm-unstable, so is... unstable
