[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: raid6: add missing vzeroupper to AVX2 code
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     raid6-add-missing-vzeroupper-to-avx2-code.patch

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

Subject: raid6: add missing vzeroupper to AVX2 code
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 2026 14:23:08 -0700

Since the AVX2 optimized RAID6 code uses YMM registers, execute vzeroupper
before returning from it.  This is needed to avoid degrading the
performance of any later SSE code that may happen to be executed.
