The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix PMD collapse swap PTE accounting
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-khugepaged-fix-pmd-collapse-swap-pte-accounting.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/khugepaged: fix PMD collapse swap PTE accounting
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2026 20:04:43 +0800
mthp_collapse() uses mthp_present_ptes to decide whether a range has
enough occupied PTEs to try collapse. Swap PTEs accepted by
collapse_scan_pmd() are counted in unmapped, but are not represented in
mthp_present_ptes.
When lower orders are enabled, collapse_scan_pmd() relaxes max_ptes_none
so the scan can cover the whole PMD and build the bitmap. mthp_collapse()
then checks the PMD-order candidate using the bitmap.
With max_ptes_none set to 0, a range with 511 present PTEs and one swap
PTE no longer reaches collapse_huge_page(), even though PMD collapse can
handle swap PTEs up to max_ptes_swap.
Account unmapped PTEs only for PMD order. PMD collapse supports swap PTEs
through max_ptes_swap, while lower-order mTHP collapse does not currently
support non-present PTEs. Keep non-present PTEs out of the lower-order
eligibility check.
