[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: padata: downgrade padata_do_multithreaded to serial execution for non-SMP
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     padata-downgrade-padata_do_multithreaded-to-serial-execution-for-non-smp.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: padata: downgrade padata_do_multithreaded to serial execution for non-SMP
Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:04:18 +0800

hugetlb parallelization depends on PADATA, and PADATA depends on SMP.

PADATA consists of two distinct functionality: One part is
padata_do_multithreaded which disregards order and simply divides tasks
into several groups for parallel execution.  Hugetlb init parallelization
depends on padata_do_multithreaded.

The other part is composed of a set of APIs that, while handling data in
an out-of-order parallel manner, can eventually return the data with
ordered sequence.  Currently Only `crypto/pcrypt.c` use them.

All users of PADATA of non-SMP case currently only use
padata_do_multithreaded.  It is easy to implement a serial one in
include/linux/padata.h.  And it is not necessary to implement another
functionality unless the only user of crypto/pcrypt.c does not depend on
SMP in the future.
