The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: rust: add mmput_async support
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-rust-add-mmput_async-support.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 mmput_async support
Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2025 09:22:42 +0000

Adds an MmWithUserAsync type that uses mmput_async when dropped but is
otherwise identical to MmWithUser.  This has to be done using a separate
type because the thing we are changing is the destructor.

Rust Binder needs this to avoid a certain deadlock.  See commit
9a9ab0d96362 ("binder: fix race between mmput() and do_exit()") for
details.  It's also needed in the shrinker to avoid cleaning up the mm in
the shrinker's context.
