[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: use pattern matching in .gitignore
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-use-pattern-matching-in-gitignore.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: use pattern matching in .gitignore
Date: Mon, 3 Aug 2026 22:17:32 +0000

The current .gitignore hardcodes each generated test binary by name,
requiring updates every time a new test is added.

Switch to the pattern-matching approach similar to KVM:selftests.  Ignore
everything by default and then allow source extensions (.c, .h, .sh) and
tracked non-source files.

Note that local_config.h was renamed to local_config.h_gen in a previous
patch so that un-ignoring *.h files does not cause generated build
artifacts to become untracked.
