[merged mm-stable] mm-document-vm_operations_struct-open-the-same-as-close.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: document vm_operations_struct->open the same as close()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-document-vm_operations_struct-open-the-same-as-close.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

------------------------------------------------------
From: "Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle)" <ljs@kernel.org>
Subject: mm: document vm_operations_struct->open the same as close()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:39:29 +0000

Describe when the operation is invoked and the context in which it is
invoked, matching the description already added for vm_op->close().

While we're here, update all outdated references to an 'area' field for
VMAs to the more consistent 'vma'.
