The quilt patch titled
Subject: swap: avoid holding swap reference in swap_cache_get_folio
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
swap-avoid-holding-swap-reference-in-swap_cache_get_folio.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: swap: avoid holding swap reference in swap_cache_get_folio
Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2022 02:58:40 +0800
All its callers either already hold a reference to, or lock the swap
device while calling this function. There is only one exception in
shmem_swapin_folio, just make this caller also hold a reference of the
swap device, so this helper can be simplified and saves a few cycles.
This also provides finer control of error handling in shmem_swapin_folio,
on race (with swap off), it can just try again. For invalid swap entry,
it can fail with a proper error code.
