The quilt patch titled
     Subject: alloc_tag: avoid implicit padding in uapi
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     alloc_tag-avoid-implicit-padding-in-uapi.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: alloc_tag: avoid implicit padding in uapi
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 22:23:47 +0200

The implied padding causes a harmless warning when testing the uapi
headers with -Wpadded that could in theory indicate incompatibilities
or data leaks:

./usr/include/linux/alloc_tag.h:41:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 7 bytes [-Werror=padded]

The code here is fine, but it's better to make the padding explicit and
avoid the warning here.
