The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-swap-use-swp_solidstate-to-determine-if-swap-is-rotational.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, swap: use SWP_SOLIDSTATE to determine if swap is rotational
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:50:08 +0900
The current non rotational check is unreliable as the device's rotational
status can be changed by a user via sysfs.
Use the more reliable SWP_SOLIDSTATE flag which is set at swapon time, to
ensure the nr_rotate_swap count remains consistent. Plus, it is easy to
read and simple.
