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

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.
