The quilt patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: only prepare ptrace_scope when memfd_secret is selected
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-only-prepare-ptrace_scope-when-memfd_secret-is-selected.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: selftests/mm: only prepare ptrace_scope when memfd_secret is selected
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 20:56:45 +0800
The memfd_secret setup clears ptrace_scope whenever its test binary is
executable, even when a different category was selected. run_test()
filters the test invocation, but it does not protect the preceding setup.
Check the category selection before entering the memfd_secret block so
running unrelated categories does not change ptrace_scope. Keep the
existing executable check and the behavior when memfd_secret is selected.
