The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: remove the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT flag
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-remove-the-__gfp_no_obj_ext-flag.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
------------------------------------------------------
From: "Vlastimil Babka (SUSE)" <vbabka@kernel.org>
Subject: mm: remove the __GFP_NO_OBJ_EXT flag
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2026 12:31:56 +0000
All users of the flag are converted to SLAB_ALLOC_NO_RECURSE or
ALLOC_NO_CODETAG (from __GFP_NO_CODETAG which reused the NO_OBJ_EXT bit).
Free up the flag bit.
[Rebased onto __GFP_NO_CODETAG removal]
