The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/migrate: exclude hugetlb folios from MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON accounting
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-migrate-exclude-hugetlb-folios-from-mthp_stat_nr_anon-accounting.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/migrate: exclude hugetlb folios from MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON accounting
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:45:00 -0600

__folio_migrate_mapping() increments MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON for the destination
folio when `folio_test_anon(folio) && folio_test_large(folio)` is true. 
However, hugetlb folios satisfy both conditions despite having a
completely separate accounting system — they use hugetlb_add_anon_rmap()
which does not touch mTHP stats, and their free path also bypasses the
mTHP decrement in __free_pages_prepare().

This causes MTHP_STAT_NR_ANON to be incremented on each hugetlb migration
without a corresponding decrement, permanently inflating the nr_anon
counter.

Add a !folio_test_hugetlb() check to __folio_migrate_mapping() so that
only actual mTHP folios are counted.
