[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: hugetlb: move mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() earlier in allocation
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-hugetlb-move-mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb-earlier-in-allocation.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: hugetlb: move mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() earlier in allocation
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:21:49 -0700

Move mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() earlier in the folio allocation process. 
This change draws a cleaner line between memcg charging and the subsequent
hugetlb-specific reservation logic for VMAs and subpools.

While it would be ideal to make all accounting and reservations perfectly
symmetric, mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() is a complex operation that cannot
be performed under the hugetlb_lock.  Moving the charge to this earlier
point ensures that memcg charging is handled before the code begins
manipulating subpool and VMA-specific state.  These two types of
accounting will be separated in a future patch.

If mem_cgroup_charge_hugetlb() fails, the code now branches to
out_subpool_put to ensure the folio is freed and the subpool references
are handled correctly.
