The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/damon/sysfs: do not ignore callback's return value in damon_sysfs_damon_call()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

Subject: mm/damon/sysfs: do not ignore callback's return value in damon_sysfs_damon_call()
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 22:25:46 +0900

The callback return value is ignored in damon_sysfs_damon_call(), which
means that it is not possible to detect invalid user input when writing
commands such as 'commit' to
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/kdamonds/<K>/state.  Fix it.
