The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: constify oom_control, scan_control, and alloc_context nodemask
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-constify-oom_control-scan_control-and-alloc_context-nodemask.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: Gregory Price <gourry@gourry.net>
Subject: mm: constify oom_control, scan_control, and alloc_context nodemask
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 20:29:19 -0400

The nodemasks in these structures may come from a variety of sources,
including tasks and cpusets - and should never be modified by any code
when being passed around inside another context.
