The quilt patch titled
     Subject: lib: kunit_iov_iter: fix memory leaks
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-kunit_iov_iter-fix-memory-leaks.patch

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

Subject: lib: kunit_iov_iter: fix memory leaks
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 22:49:03 +0100

Use vfree() instead of vunmap() to free the buffer allocated by
iov_kunit_create_buffer() because vunmap() does not honour
VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES.  In order for this to work the page array itself must
not be managed by kunit.

Remove the folio_put() when destroying a folioq.  This is handled by
vfree(), now.

Pointed out by sashiko.dev on a previous iteration of this series.

Tested by running the kunit test 10000 times in a loop.
