[merged mm-stable] mm-gup-cache-pudp-in-follow_pud_mask.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/gup: cache *pudp in follow_pud_mask()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-gup-cache-pudp-in-follow_pud_mask.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: mm/gup: cache *pudp in follow_pud_mask()
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 11:23:28 -0400

Introduce "pud_t pud" in the function, so the code won't dereference *pudp
multiple time.  Not only because that looks less straightforward, but also
because if the dereference really happened, it's not clear whether there
can be race to see different *pudp values if it's being modified at the
same time.
