[merged mm-stable] mm-copy_pte_range-use-pte_offset_map_rw_nolock.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: copy_pte_range() use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-copy_pte_range-use-pte_offset_map_rw_nolock.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: copy_pte_range() use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock()
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 14:46:21 +0800

In copy_pte_range(), we may modify the src_pte entry after holding the
src_ptl, so convert it to using pte_offset_map_rw_nolock().  Since we
already hold the exclusive mmap_lock, and the copy_pte_range() and
retract_page_tables() are using vma->anon_vma to be exclusive, so the PTE
page is stable, there is no need to get pmdval and do pmd_same() check.
