The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/mglru: extract lruvec_populated_min_seq() helper
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mglru-extract-lruvec_populated_min_seq-helper.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: mm/mglru: extract lruvec_populated_min_seq() helper
Date: Sat, 14 Nov 2026 02:55:27 +0800

The search for the oldest populated generation of a type, previously
embedded in try_to_inc_min_seq(), is extracted into the new
lruvec_populated_min_seq() helper. It returns the oldest populated seq
of a given type, bounded by the given max_seq so the search never goes
beyond it.

No functional change.
