The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/core: document damos_commit_dests() failure semantics
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-damon-core-document-damos_commit_dests-failure-semantics.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/damon/core: document damos_commit_dests() failure semantics
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 07:36:45 -0700

Add a kernel-doc-like comment to damos_commit_dests() documenting its
allocation failure contract: on -ENOMEM, the destination structure is left
in a partially torn-down state that is safe to deallocate via
damon_destroy_scheme(), but must not be reused for further commits.

This was unclear from the code alone and led to a separate patch [1]
attempting to reset nr_dests on failure.  Make the intended usage explicit
so future readers do not repeat the confusion.
