The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: compaction: drop redundant watermark check in compaction_zonelist_suitable()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-compaction-drop-redundant-watermark-check-in-compaction_zonelist_suitable.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: compaction: drop redundant watermark check in compaction_zonelist_suitable()
Date: Fri, 19 May 2023 14:39:59 +0200

The watermark check in compaction_zonelist_suitable(), called from
should_compact_retry(), is sandwiched between two watermark checks
already: before, there are freelist attempts as part of direct reclaim and
direct compaction; after, there is a last-minute freelist attempt in
__alloc_pages_may_oom().

The check in compaction_zonelist_suitable() isn't necessary. Kill it.
