Message-ID: <20250921212633.1923AC4CEE7@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: remove redundant test in validate_page_before_insert()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-remove-redundant-test-in-validate_page_before_insert.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: remove redundant test in validate_page_before_insert()
Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 15:29:18 +0100
The page_has_type() call would have included slab since commit
46df8e73a4a3 and now we don't even get that far because slab pages have a
zero refcount since commit 9aec2fb0fd5e.
