[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: btree: simplify merge logic by using btree_last() return value
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     btree-simplify-merge-logic-by-using-btree_last-return-value.patch

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

Subject: btree: simplify merge logic by using btree_last() return value
Date: Wed, 27 Aug 2025 00:17:41 +0800

Previously btree_merge() called btree_last() only to test existence, then
performed an extra btree_lookup() to fetch the value.  This patch changes
it to directly use the value returned by btree_last(), avoiding redundant
lookups and simplifying the merge loop.
