The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/nommu: reject wrapping ranges in access_remote_vm()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-nommu-reject-wrapping-ranges-in-access_remote_vm.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/nommu: reject wrapping ranges in access_remote_vm()
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2026 09:42:31 +0300
The NOMMU implementation of access_process_vm() rejects address ranges
whose end wraps around, but access_remote_vm() bypasses this check even
though both functions delegate to __access_remote_vm().
Move the wraparound check into __access_remote_vm() so it applies to both
entry points.
This is originally reported in [1].
