The quilt patch titled
     Subject: filemap: replace pte_offset_map() with pte_offset_map_nolock()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     filemap-replace-pte_offset_map-with-pte_offset_map_nolock.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: filemap: replace pte_offset_map() with pte_offset_map_nolock()
Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2024 09:29:13 +0800

The vmf->ptl in filemap_fault_recheck_pte_none() is still set from
handle_pte_fault().  But at the same time, we did a pte_unmap(vmf->pte). 
After a pte_unmap(vmf->pte) unmap and rcu_read_unlock(), the page table
may be racily changed and vmf->ptl maybe fails to protect the actual page
table.  Fix this by replacing pte_offset_map() with
pte_offset_map_nolock().

As David said, the PTL pointer might be stale so if we continue to use
it infilemap_fault_recheck_pte_none(), it might trigger UAF.  Also, if
the PTL fails, the issue fixed by commit 58f327f2ce80 ("filemap: avoid
unnecessary major faults in filemap_fault()") might reappear.
