The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     liveupdate-protect-flb-lists-with-luo_register_rwlock.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: liveupdate: protect FLB lists with luo_register_rwlock
Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2026 03:33:28 +0000

Because liveupdate FLB objects will soon drop their persistent module
references when registered, list traversals must be protected against
concurrent module unloading.

To provide this protection, utilize the global luo_register_rwlock.  It
protects the global registry of FLBs and the handler's specific list of
FLB dependencies.

Read locks are used during concurrent list traversals (e.g., during
preservation and serialization).  Write locks are taken during
registration and unregistration.
