The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: preallocate maple nodes for brk vma expansion has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-preallocate-maple-nodes-for-brk-vma-expansion.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 ------------------------------------------------------ From: Liam Howlett <liam.howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: preallocate maple nodes for brk vma expansion Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2022 16:08:37 +0000 If the brk VMA is the last vma in a maple node and meets the rare criteria that it can be expanded, then preallocation is necessary to avoid a potential fs_reclaim circular lock issue on low resources. At the same time use the actual vma start address (unaligned) when calling vma_adjust_trans_huge().
