The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/khugepaged: rework max_ptes_* handling with helper functions
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-khugepaged-rework-max_ptes_-handling-with-helper-functions.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be issued

Subject: mm/khugepaged: rework max_ptes_* handling with helper functions
Date: Sun, 19 Apr 2026 12:57:40 -0600
The following cleanup reworks all the max_ptes_* handling into helper
functions. This increases the code readability and will later be used to
implement the mTHP handling of these variables.
With these changes we abstract all the madvise_collapse() special casing
(dont respect the sysctls) away from the functions that utilize them. And
will later in this series to cleanly restrict mTHP collapses behaviors.
