Message-ID: <20250317051419.A246DC4CEEC@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: page_alloc: remove remnants of unlocked migratetype updates
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

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: page_alloc: remove remnants of unlocked migratetype updates
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2025 19:08:25 -0500
The freelist hygiene patches made migratetype accesses fully protected
under the zone->lock. Remove remnants of handling the race conditions
that existed before from the MIGRATE_HIGHATOMIC code.
