[merged mm-stable] mm-add-mmap_action_simple_ioremap.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: add mmap_action_simple_ioremap()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-add-mmap_action_simple_ioremap.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: add mmap_action_simple_ioremap()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:39:37 +0000

Currently drivers use vm_iomap_memory() as a simple helper function for
I/O remapping memory over a range starting at a specified physical address
over a specified length.

In order to utilise this from mmap_prepare, separate out the core logic
into __simple_ioremap_prep(), update vm_iomap_memory() to use it, and add
simple_ioremap_prepare() to do the same with a VMA descriptor object.

We also add MMAP_SIMPLE_IO_REMAP and relevant fields to the struct
mmap_action type to permit this operation also.

We use mmap_action_ioremap() to set up the actual I/O remap operation once
we have checked and figured out the parameters, which makes
simple_ioremap_prepare() easy to implement.

We then add mmap_action_simple_ioremap() to allow drivers to make use of
this mode.

We update the mmap_prepare documentation to describe this mode.  Finally,
we update the VMA tests to reflect this change.
