This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/thp: carry over dirty bit when thp splits on pmd
Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2022 12:13:28 -0400

Carry over the dirty bit from pmd to pte when a huge pmd splits.  It
shouldn't be a correctness issue since when pmd_dirty() we'll have the
page marked dirty anyway, however having dirty bit carried over helps the
next initial writes of split ptes on some archs like x86.
