The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/khugepaged: fix issue with tracking lock
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-khugepaged-fix-issue-with-tracking-lock.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/khugepaged: fix issue with tracking lock
Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2026 13:11:18 +0100

We are incorrectly treating lock_dropped to track both whether the lock is
currently held and whether or not the lock was ever dropped.

Update this change to account for this.
