This is step 3/4 of a patch series to fix mid_q_entry memory leaks caused by race conditions in callback execution. Replace the mid_flags bitmask with dedicated boolean fields to simplify locking logic and improve code readability: - Replace MID_DELETED with bool deleted_from_q - Replace MID_WAIT_CANCELLED with bool wait_cancelled - Remove mid_flags field entirely The new boolean fields have clearer semantics: - deleted_from_q: whether mid has been removed from pending_mid_q - wait_cancelled: whether request was cancelled during wait This change reduces memory usage (from 4-byte bitmask to 2 boolean flags) and eliminates confusion about which lock protects which flag bits, preparing for per-mid locking in the next patch.

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.
