Re: [PATCH v3 24/35] mm: introduce vma detached flag

From: Liam R. Howlett

Can we change this to active/inactive? I think there is potential for
reusing this functionality to even larger degrees and that name would
fit better and would still make sense in this context.

ie: vma_mark_active() and vma_mark_inactive() ?
