[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/mempolicy: fix set_mempolicy_home_node() previous VMA pointer
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mempolicy-fix-set_mempolicy_home_node-previous-vma-pointer.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/mempolicy: fix set_mempolicy_home_node() previous VMA pointer
Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 13:24:32 -0400

The two users of mbind_range() are expecting that mbind_range() will
update the pointer to the previous VMA, or return an error.  However,
set_mempolicy_home_node() does not call mbind_range() if there is no VMA
policy.  The fix is to update the pointer to the previous VMA prior to
continuing iterating the VMAs when there is no policy.

Users may experience a WARN_ON() during VMA policy updates when updating
a range of VMAs on the home node.
