The quilt patch titled
     Subject: ksm: update comments and docs to reference folio->mapping
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     ksm-update-comments-and-docs-to-reference-folio-mapping.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: ksm: update comments and docs to reference folio->mapping
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 18:59:07 +0800

The KSM code already stores and checks the stable node key via
folio->mapping, but the comment in ksm_get_folio() and the reverse mapping
documentation in ksm.rst still refer to page->mapping.

This is a pure wording update to match the folio-based implementation.  No
functional change is intended.
