[PATCH 3/5] mm/mseal: small cleanups

Lorenzo Stoakes posted 5 patches 6 months, 4 weeks ago
There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 3/5] mm/mseal: small cleanups
Posted by Lorenzo Stoakes 6 months, 4 weeks ago 
Drop the wholly unnecessary set_vma_sealed() and vma_is_sealed() helpers
which are used only once, and place VMA_ITERATOR() declarations in the
correct place.

No functional change intended.

In any case, LGTM.
