[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: use clear_user_(high)page() for arch with special user folio handling
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-use-clear_user_highpage-for-arch-with-special-user-folio-handling.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: use clear_user_(high)page() for arch with special user folio handling
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2024 13:23:26 -0500

Some architectures have special handling after clearing user folios:
architectures, which set cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to true, require
flushing dcache; arc, which sets cpu_icache_is_aliasing() to true, changes
folio->flags to make icache coherent to dcache.  So __GFP_ZERO using only
clear_page() is not enough to zero user folios and clear_user_(high)page()
must be used.  Otherwise, user data will be corrupted.

Fix it by always clearing user folios with clear_user_(high)page() when
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() is true or cpu_icache_is_aliasing() is true. 
Rename alloc_zeroed() to user_alloc_needs_zeroing() and invert the logic
to clarify its intend.
