The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/userfaultfd: fix kmap_local LIFO ordering for CONFIG_HIGHPTE
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-userfaultfd-fix-kmap_local-lifo-ordering-for-config_highpte.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/userfaultfd: fix kmap_local LIFO ordering for CONFIG_HIGHPTE
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2025 10:44:31 -0400

With CONFIG_HIGHPTE on 32-bit ARM, move_pages_pte() maps PTE pages using
kmap_local_page(), which requires unmapping in Last-In-First-Out order.

The current code maps dst_pte first, then src_pte, but unmaps them in the
same order (dst_pte, src_pte), violating the LIFO requirement.  This
causes the warning in kunmap_local_indexed():

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 604 at mm/highmem.c:622 kunmap_local_indexed+0x178/0x17c
  addr \!= __fix_to_virt(FIX_KMAP_BEGIN + idx)

Fix this by reversing the unmap order to respect LIFO ordering.

This issue follows the same pattern as similar fixes:
- commit eca6828403b8 ("crypto: skcipher - fix mismatch between mapping and unmapping order")
- commit 8cf57c6df818 ("nilfs2: eliminate staggered calls to kunmap in nilfs_rename")

Both of which addressed the same fundamental requirement that kmap_local
operations must follow LIFO ordering.
