[merged mm-stable] mm-skip-might_alloc-warnings-when-pf_memalloc-is-set.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: skip might_alloc() warnings when PF_MEMALLOC is set
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-skip-might_alloc-warnings-when-pf_memalloc-is-set.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: skip might_alloc() warnings when PF_MEMALLOC is set
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2025 14:20:33 +0200

might_alloc() catches invalid blocking allocations in contexts where
sleeping is not allowed.

However when PF_MEMALLOC is set, the page allocator already skips reclaim
and other blocking paths.  In such cases, a blocking gfp_mask does not
actually lead to blocking, so triggering might_alloc() splats is
misleading.

Adjust might_alloc() to skip warnings when the current task has
PF_MEMALLOC set, matching the allocator's actual blocking behaviour.
