[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: kvrealloc: properly document __GFP_ZERO behavior
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-kvmalloc-align-kvrealloc-with-krealloc-fix-3.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-kvmalloc-align-kvrealloc-with-krealloc.patch

Subject: mm: kvrealloc: properly document __GFP_ZERO behavior
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2024 20:49:44 +0200

Properly document that if __GFP_ZERO logic is requested, callers must
ensure that, starting with the initial memory allocation, every subsequent
call to this API for the same memory allocation is flagged with
__GFP_ZERO.  Otherwise, it is possible that __GFP_ZERO is not fully
honored by this API.
