The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: rust: add vm_area_struct methods that require read access
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-rust-add-vm_area_struct-methods-that-require-read-access.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: rust: add vm_area_struct methods that require read access
Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2025 09:22:39 +0000

This adds a type called VmaRef which is used when referencing a vma that
you have read access to.  Here, read access means that you hold either the
mmap read lock or the vma read lock (or stronger).

Additionally, a vma_lookup method is added to the mmap read guard, which
enables you to obtain a &VmaRef in safe Rust code.

This patch only provides a way to lock the mmap read lock, but a follow-up
patch also provides a way to just lock the vma read lock.

+//! Virtual memory.
+//!
+//! This module deals with managing a single VMA in the address space of a userspace process. Each
+//! VMA corresponds to a region of memory that the userspace process can access, and the VMA lets
+//! you control what happens when userspace reads or writes to that region of memory.
+//!
+//! The module has several different Rust types that all correspond to the C type called
+//! `vm_area_struct`. The different structs represent what kind of access you have to the VMA, e.g.
+//! [`VmaRef`] is used when you hold the mmap or vma read lock. Using the appropriate struct
+//! ensures that you can't, for example, accidentally call a function that requires holding the
+//! write lock when you only hold the read lock.
