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

[Andrew Morton]

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

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (ARM)" <ljs@kernel.org>
Subject: mm: introduce and use linear_folio_page_index()
Date: Mon, 20 Jul 2026 15:38:34 +0100

This function is, for now, a placeholder; it will be used in future to
determine whether to use the virtual page index or not, based on whether
the folio is anonymous or not.

Currently it simply wraps linear_page_index(), so this does not change
behaviour.

We update callers that will, once the change is introduced to track
anonymous folios by virtual page offset if MAP_PRIVATE file-backed, need
to determine which index to use based on folio type.

No functional change intended.
