[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: panic: fix va_list reuse in panic_try_force_cpu()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     panic-fix-va_list-reuse-in-panic_try_force_cpu.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: panic: fix va_list reuse in panic_try_force_cpu()
Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2026 18:29:54 +0000

vsnprintf() consumes the caller's va_list.  When the redirect fails,
vpanic() reuses it for the panic message, which is undefined behavior. 
Use va_copy().
