The quilt patch titled
     Subject: selftests/mm: move is_backed_by_folio() into vm_util
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     selftests-mm-move-is_backed_by_folio-into-vm_util.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: move is_backed_by_folio() into vm_util
Date: Sat, 19 Sep 2026 01:24:37 +0100

Checking that an address range is backed by a folio of a given order is
useful to any test that builds or collapses large folios.  mTHP collapse
coverage in the khugepaged selftest needs exactly that.

split_huge_page_test.c already has the building block:
is_backed_by_folio() reads the compound head and tail flags from
/proc/kpageflags to classify the folio behind a page.

Move it into vm_util so other tests can use it.  No functional change.
