[to-be-updated] mm-introduce-and-use-vma_filebacked_address.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: introduce and use vma_filebacked_address()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-introduce-and-use-vma_filebacked_address.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

------------------------------------------------------
From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" <ljs@kernel.org>
Subject: mm: introduce and use vma_filebacked_address()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:38:31 +0100

In cases where we know that the VMA is file-backed, use
vma_filebacked_address() rather than vma_address().

This lays the foundation for using the virtual page offset for anonymous
VMAs via vma_anon_address().

Also add an assert to ensure that the VMA whose address is required is not
anonymous.

No functional change intended.
