[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: fs: reduce stack usage in do_mpage_readpage
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fs-reduce-stack-usage-in-do_mpage_readpage.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: fs: reduce stack usage in do_mpage_readpage
Date: Fri, 15 Dec 2023 20:02:35 +0000

Some architectures support a very large PAGE_SIZE, so instead of the 8
pointers we see with a 4kB PAGE_SIZE, we can see 128 pointers with 64kB or
so many on Hexagon that it trips compiler warnings about exceeding stack
frame size.

All we're doing with this array is checking for block contiguity, which we
can as well do by remembering the address of the first block in the page
and checking this block is at the appropriate offset from that address.
