The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/hugetlb: fix early boot crash on parameters without '=' separator

     mm-hugetlb-fix-early-boot-crash-on-parameters-without-=-separator.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/hugetlb: fix early boot crash on parameters without '=' separator
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 12:54:40 +0200

If hugepages, hugepagesz, or default_hugepagesz are specified on the
kernel command line without the '=' separator, early parameter parsing
passes NULL to hugetlb_add_param(), which dereferences it in strlen() and
can crash the system during early boot.

Reject NULL values in hugetlb_add_param() and return -EINVAL instead.
