The patch titled
     Subject: userfaultfd: avoid missing wakeups during refile in userfaultfd_read
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     userfaultfd-avoid-missing-wakeups-during-refile-in-userfaultfd_read.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: userfaultfd: avoid missing wakeups during refile in userfaultfd_read

During the refile in userfaultfd_read both waitqueues could look empty to
the lockless wake_userfault().  Use a seqcount to prevent this false
negative that could leave an userfault blocked.
