The quilt patch titled
     Subject: fs/proc/page: clarify comment in get_max_dump_pfn()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fs-proc-page-clarify-comment-in-get_max_dump_pfn.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: fs/proc/page: clarify comment in get_max_dump_pfn()
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 21:59:04 +0200

pfn_to_online_page() will only succeed on some PFNs within the same
section, not necessarily all.  Let's make that clearer.

While at it, rephrase it to "Allow inspection of".
