has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-migrate-copy-all-referenced-state-via-folio_migrate_lru_refs.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: mm/migrate: copy all referenced state via folio_migrate_lru_refs
Date: Sun, 06 Sep 2026 00:51:08 +0800
folio_migrate_flags() copies PG_referenced separately from the MGLRU refs
counter, which folio_migrate_refs() transfers. Yet under MGLRU,
PG_referenced and the refs counter bits together describe the referenced
status of a folio.
Consolidate the two: rename folio_migrate_refs() to
folio_migrate_lru_refs() and let it copy the complete referenced status,
i.e., the MGLRU refs count including PG_referenced, or just PG_referenced
for the active/inactive LRU. Drop the open-coded PG_referenced copy so
the referenced status is transferred in one place. No behavior change is
intended: under the active/inactive LRU the extra bits are unused, so
operating on them is a noop.
Transfer the reference state first, before the destination folio is marked
up to date, as a best effort to retain referenced status.
