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: mm/vmscan: fix comment logic in balance_pgdat
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 14:40:57 +0800
In balance_pgdat(), when the low watermark is met, processes sleeping on
pfmemalloc_wait are woken up because they are able to safely make forward
progress.
However, the comment incorrectly states "they should not be able",
which contradicts the actual code behavior. Fix this typo to accurately
reflect the logic.
