The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: refactor vma_map_pages to use vm_insert_pages

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: refactor vma_map_pages to use vm_insert_pages
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 17:56:47 -0500

vma_map_pages currently calls vm_insert_page on each individual page in
the mapping, which creates significant overhead because we are repeatedly
spinlocking.  Instead, we should batch insert pages using vm_insert_pages,
which amortizes the cost of the spinlock.

Tested through watching hardware accelerated video on a MTK ChromeOS
device.  This particular path maps both a V4L2 buffer and a GEM allocated
buffer into userspace and converts the contents from one pixel format to
another.  Both vb2_mmap() and mtk_gem_object_mmap() exercise this pathway.
