The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix iteration in collapse_file
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-khugepaged-fix-iteration-in-collapse_file.patch

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

From: David Stevens <stevensd@chromium.org>
Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix iteration in collapse_file
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2023 14:31:35 +0900

Remove an unnecessary call to xas_set(index) when iterating over the
target range in collapse_file.  The extra call to xas_set reset the xas
cursor to the top of the tree, causing the xas_next call on the next
iteration to walk the tree to index instead of advancing to index+1.  This
returned the same page again, which would cause collapse_file to fail
because the page is already locked.

This bug was hidden when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM was set.  When that config was
used, the xas_load in a subsequent VM_BUG_ON assert would walk xas from
the top of the tree to index, causing the xas_next call on the next loop
iteration to advance the cursor as expected.
