The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/shmem: fix race in shmem_undo_range w/THP
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-shmem-fix-race-in-shmem_undo_range-w-thp.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/shmem: fix race in shmem_undo_range w/THP
Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2023 17:40:31 +0900
Split folios during the second loop of shmem_undo_range. It's not
sufficient to only split folios when dealing with partial pages, since
it's possible for a THP to be faulted in after that point. Calling
truncate_inode_folio in that situation can result in throwing away data
outside of the range being targeted.
