The quilt patch titled Subject: madvise: use vmi iterator for __split_vma() and vma_merge() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was madvise-use-vmi-iterator-for-__split_vma-and-vma_merge.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 R. Howlett" <Liam.Howlett@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: madvise: use vmi iterator for __split_vma() and vma_merge() Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:26:24 -0500 Use the vma iterator so that the iterator can be invalidated or updated to avoid each caller doing so.
