The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/rmap: add try_to_unmap_hugetlb_one
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-rmap-add-try_to_unmap_hugetlb_one.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: mm/rmap: add try_to_unmap_hugetlb_one
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2026 05:00:45 +0000

Simplify try_to_unmap_one() by separating the hugetlb parts into
try_to_unmap_hugetlb_one().

To understand the correctness of the refactoring, the following points
are noted:

1. try_to_unmap() is called for hugetlb folios only when they are
   hwpoisoned.

2. A hugetlb VMA cannot be mlocked.

3. page_vma_mapped_walk() returns at most one hugetlb mapping in a VMA,
   and that mapping points at the head PFN.

4. We won't ever process a softleaf entry that encodes a hugetlb folio;
   hugetlb folios are never swapped out, migration entries will be
   skipped (PVMW_MIGRATION not passed), and device-exclusive does not
   work for hugetlb.

5. The hwpoison entry is constructed from the poisoned folio, just as in
   the pre-refactor code. Any previous uffd-wp state is deliberately not
   preserved for the hwpoison entry.

6. TTU_HWPOISON is always present; for it to not be present, either the
   folio has to be in swapcache, or mapping_can_writeback() is true (see
   unmap_poisoned_folio), none of which is true for hugetlb folios.

7. Hugetlb uses separate counters from normal rss counters, therefore
   update_highwater_rss() need not be called.

While at it:

 - Change VM_BUG_* to VM_WARN_*.

 - Do not declare variables which are only used once.

 - Constify some variables.

 - Add some more VM_WARN_* to assert some invariants.

Except the above 4 points, no functional change intended.
