The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: correct the docs for thp_fault_alloc and thp_fault_fallback

     mm-correct-the-docs-for-thp_fault_alloc-and-thp_fault_fallback.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: correct the docs for thp_fault_alloc and thp_fault_fallback
Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2024 23:48:58 +1200

The documentation does not align with the code.  In
__do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(), THP_FAULT_FALLBACK is incremented when
mem_cgroup_charge() fails, despite the allocation succeeding, whereas
THP_FAULT_ALLOC is only incremented after a successful charge.
