The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/hugetlb: refactor early boot gigantic hugepage allocation
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-hugetlb-refactor-early-boot-gigantic-hugepage-allocation.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/hugetlb: refactor early boot gigantic hugepage allocation
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 11:58:57 +0800

The early boot gigantic hugepage allocation helpers currently mix
allocation with huge_bootmem_page setup, and leave part of the
initialization flow in architecture code.

Refactor the interface to return the allocated huge page pointer and move
the huge_bootmem_page setup into the generic hugetlb code.  This makes the
architecture-specific paths focus only on finding memory, while the common
code handles node placement and early page metadata setup in one place.

This also lets powerpc benefit from memblock_reserved_mark_noinit(), which
it did not enable before.

In addition, upcoming cross-zone validation for boot-time gigantic hugetlb
reservation is common logic.  With this refactoring, that logic can stay
in the generic code instead of being duplicated in architecture-specific
paths.
