[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: x86: fs: kmsan: disable CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86-fs-kmsan-disable-config_dcache_word_access.patch

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

dentry_string_cmp() calls read_word_at_a_time(), which might read
uninitialized bytes to optimize string comparisons.  Disabling
CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS should prohibit this optimization, as well as
(probably) similar ones.
