The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: optimize to reduce arguments of alloc_vmap_area()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

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: mm/vmalloc.c: optimize to reduce arguments of alloc_vmap_area()
Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2024 12:44:54 +0800

If called by __get_vm_area_node(), by open coding the field assignments of
'struct vm_struct *vm', and move the vm->flags and vm->caller assignments
into __get_vm_area_node(), the passed in arguments 'flags' and 'caller'
can be removed.

This alleviates overloaded arguments passed in for alloc_vmap_area().
