Message-ID: <20251124231111.DC5DBC4CEF1@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: tweak __vma_enter_locked()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-tweak-__vma_enter_locked.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
------------------------------------------------------
From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>
Subject: mm: tweak __vma_enter_locked()
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 04:26:35 +0000
Move the commentary on how __vma_enter_locked() behaves from the body of
__vma_start_write() to the head of __vma_enter_locked() and merge it with
the existing documentation. Also add a call to
mmap_assert_write_locked().
