[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: tools/testing/vma: add test to assert MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero is anon
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     tools-testing-vma-add-test-to-assert-map_private-dev-zero-is-anon.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: tools/testing/vma: add test to assert MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero is anon
Date: Sat, 26 Sep 2026 11:41:10 +0100

Now we've made MAP_PRIVATE-mapped /dev/zero mappings truly anonymous, add a
VMA userland test to assert that this is the case and everything is as we
would expect for an anonymous mapping.
