[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: x86/xen: use lazy_mmu_state when context-switching
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     x86-xen-use-lazy_mmu_state-when-context-switching.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: x86/xen: use lazy_mmu_state when context-switching
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2025 15:03:22 +0000

We currently set a TIF flag when scheduling out a task that is in lazy MMU
mode, in order to restore it when the task is scheduled again.

The generic lazy_mmu layer now tracks whether a task is in lazy MMU mode
in task_struct::lazy_mmu_state.  We can therefore check that state when
switching to the new task, instead of using a separate TIF flag.
