------------------------------------------------------ From: Lorenzo Stoakes lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com Subject: mm: refactor map_deny_write_exec() Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2024 18:11:46 +0000
Refactor the map_deny_write_exec() to not unnecessarily require a VMA parameter but rather to accept VMA flags parameters, which allows us to use this function early in mmap_region() in a subsequent commit.
While we're here, we refactor the function to be more readable and add some additional documentation.
