The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/shmem: report RCU-tasks quiescent states while undoing a range
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-shmem-report-rcu-tasks-quiescent-states-while-undoing-a-range.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/shmem: report RCU-tasks quiescent states while undoing a range
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:24:37 -0700

This shows up in the Meta fleet on ftruncate() of large tmpfs files:

  INFO: rcu_tasks detected stalls on tasks:
  00000000752fd185: .. nvcsw: 59455/59455 holdout: 1 idle_cpu: -1/0
  task:rocksdb:bottom  state:R  running task
    __folio_split
    find_get_entry
    find_get_entries
    truncate_inode_partial_folio
    shmem_undo_range
    shmem_setattr
    notify_change
    do_ftruncate
    __x64_sys_ftruncate
    do_syscall_64

shmem_undo_range() walks the whole of the requested range in folio_batch
sized steps, twice, and its two cond_resched() calls are the only
reschedule points in that walk.

cond_resched() is not an RCU-tasks quiescent state.  Use
cond_resched_tasks_rcu_qs() at both points so the walk reports an
RCU-tasks quiescent state as it proceeds.
