The quilt patch titled
Subject: memblock: fix kernel-doc for MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memblock-fix-kernel-doc-for-memblock_rsrv_noinit.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt@kernel.org>
Subject: memblock: fix kernel-doc for MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 10:19:46 +0300
The kernel-doc description of MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT and
memblock_reserved_mark_noinit() do not accurately describe their
functionality.
Expand their kernel doc to make it clear that the user of
MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT is responsible to properly initialize the struct
pages for such regions and add more details about effects of using this
flag.
