[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: add vma_desc_size(), vma_desc_pages() helpers
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-add-vma_desc_size-vma_desc_pages-helpers.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: add vma_desc_size(), vma_desc_pages() helpers
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 20:11:05 +0100

It's useful to be able to determine the size of a VMA descriptor range
used on f_op->mmap_prepare, expressed both in bytes and pages, so add
helpers for both and update code that could make use of it to do so.
