The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: memory-failure: fix potential unexpected return value from unpoison_memory()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-memory-failure-fix-potential-unexpected-return-value-from-unpoison_memory.patch

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

Subject: mm: memory-failure: fix potential unexpected return value from unpoison_memory()
Date: Thu, 27 Jul 2023 19:56:41 +0800

If unpoison_memory() fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag, return value ret
is expected to be -EBUSY.  But when get_hwpoison_page() returns 1 and
fails to clear page hwpoisoned flag due to races, return value will be
unexpected 1 leading to users being confused.  And there's a code smell
that the variable "ret" is used not only to save the return value of
unpoison_memory(), but also the return value from get_hwpoison_page(). 
Make a further cleanup by using another auto-variable solely to save the
return value of get_hwpoison_page() as suggested by Naoya.
