The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/page_table_check: fix accessing unmapped ptep
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_table_check-fix-accessing-unmapped-ptep.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/page_table_check: fix accessing unmapped ptep
Date: Thu, 26 May 2022 19:33:50 +0800
ptep is unmapped too early, so ptep could theoretically be accessed while
it's unmapped. This might become a problem if/when CONFIG_HIGHPTE becomes
available on riscv.
Fix it by deferring pte_unmap() until page table checking is done.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: account for ptep alteration, per Matthew]
