The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/highmem: align-down to page the address for kunmap_flush_on_unmap()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-highmem-align-down-to-page-the-address-for-kunmap_flush_on_unmap.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

Subject: mm/highmem: align-down to page the address for kunmap_flush_on_unmap()
Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2023 15:33:46 +0100

If ARCH_HAS_FLUSH_ON_KUNMAP is defined (PA-RISC case), __kunmap_local()
calls kunmap_flush_on_unmap().  The latter currently flushes the wrong
address (as confirmed by Matthew Wilcox and Helge Deller).  Al Viro
proposed to call kunmap_flush_on_unmap() on an aligned-down to page
address in order to fix this issue.  Consensus has been reached on this
solution.

Therefore, if ARCH_HAS_FLUSH_ON_KUNMAP is defined, call
kunmap_flush_on_unmap() on an aligned-down to page address computed with
the PTR_ALIGN_DOWN() macro.
