Subject: [merged mm-stable] mm-huge_memory-rename-remap_page-to-remap_anon_folio.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Thu, 08 Oct 2026 23:00:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261009060004.601DB1F0089B@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/huge_memory: rename remap_page() to remap_anon_folio()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-huge_memory-rename-remap_page-to-remap_anon_folio.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/huge_memory: rename remap_page() to remap_anon_folio()
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 23:32:40 +0200
remap_page() now only has one caller, __folio_freeze_split_anon(), and is
only ever called for anon folios: unmap_folio() currently leaves file
folios unmapped after the split, so they need no remapping.
Rename it to remap_anon_folio() to make that explicit, and add a
VM_WARN_ON_FOLIO() documenting it.
