[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: fix ternary operator precedence in ksm_tests
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-fix-ternary-operator-precedence-in-ksm_tests.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: selftests/mm: fix ternary operator precedence in ksm_tests
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 2026 12:29:07 +0530

The KSM selftest uses conditional expressions to skip accesses to
merge_across_nodes on systems without NUMA support.  However, the ternary
operator is combined with logical OR without parentheses:

a || numa_available() ? 0 : b || c

Due to operator precedence rules, this is parsed as:

(a || numa_available()) ? 0 : (b || c)

instead of the intended:

a || (numa_available() ? 0 : b) || c

Add parentheses around the conditional expressions to ensure the
correct evaluation order.
