[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/mmap/vma_merge: use the proper vma pointer in case 4
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mmap-vma_merge-use-the-proper-vma-pointer-in-case-4.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

Subject: mm/mmap/vma_merge: use the proper vma pointer in case 4
Date: Thu, 9 Mar 2023 12:12:52 +0100

Almost all cases now use the 'next' pointer for the vma following the
merged area, and the cases diagram shows it as XXXX.  Case 4 is different
as it uses 'mid' and NNNN, so change it for consistency.  No functional
change.
