[merged mm-nonmm-stable] kho-check-if-kho-is-finalized-in-__kho_preserve_order.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: kho: check if kho is finalized in __kho_preserve_order()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kho-check-if-kho-is-finalized-in-__kho_preserve_order.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: kho: check if kho is finalized in __kho_preserve_order()
Date: Sun, 21 Sep 2025 08:44:55 +0300

Patch series "kho: add support for preserving vmalloc allocations", v5.

Following the discussion about preservation of memfd with LUO [1] these
patches add support for preserving vmalloc allocations.

Any KHO uses case presumes that there's a data structure that lists
physical addresses of preserved folios (and potentially some additional
metadata).  Allowing vmalloc preservations with KHO allows scalable
preservation of such data structures.

For instance, instead of allocating array describing preserved folios in
the fdt, memfd preservation can use vmalloc:

        preserved_folios = vmalloc_array(nr_folios, sizeof(*preserved_folios));
        memfd_luo_preserve_folios(preserved_folios, folios, nr_folios);
        kho_preserve_vmalloc(preserved_folios, &folios_info);


This patch (of 4):

Instead of checking if kho is finalized in each caller of
__kho_preserve_order(), do it in the core function itself.
