The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/huge_memory: merge uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-huge_memory-merge-uniform_split_supported-and-non_uniform_split_supported.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/huge_memory: merge uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported()
Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2025 03:41:55 +0000
uniform_split_supported() and non_uniform_split_supported() share
significantly similar logic.
The only functional difference is that uniform_split_supported() includes
an additional check on the requested @new_order.
The reason for this check comes from the following two aspects:
* some file system or swap cache just supports order-0 folio
* the behavioral difference between uniform/non-uniform split
The behavioral difference between uniform split and non-uniform:
* uniform split splits folio directly to @new_order
* non-uniform split creates after-split folios with orders from
folio_order(folio) - 1 to new_order.
This means for non-uniform split or !new_order split we should check the
file system and swap cache respectively.
This commit unifies the logic and merge the two functions into a single
combined helper, removing redundant code and simplifying the split
support checking mechanism.
