Pratyush Yadav 6ff1610ced mm: shmem: use SHMEM_F_* flags instead of VM_* flags
shmem_inode_info::flags can have the VM flags VM_NORESERVE and VM_LOCKED. 
These are used to suppress pre-accounting or to lock the pages in the
inode respectively.  Using the VM flags directly makes it difficult to add
shmem-specific flags that are unrelated to VM behavior since one would
need to find a VM flag not used by shmem and re-purpose it.

Introduce SHMEM_F_NORESERVE and SHMEM_F_LOCKED which represent the same
information, but their bits are independent of the VM flags.  Callers can
still pass VM_NORESERVE to shmem_get_inode(), but it gets transformed to
the shmem-specific flag internally.

No functional changes intended.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
