has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: change the interface of prep_compound_tail()
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 19:42:40 +0000

Instead of passing down the head page and tail page index, pass the tail
and head pages directly, as well as the order of the compound page.

This is a preparation for changing how the head position is encoded in the
tail page.
