The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: remove unnecessary vp->vma check in vma_prepare has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-write-lock-vmas-in-vma_prepare-before-modifying-them-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-mmap-write-lock-vmas-in-vma_prepare-before-modifying-them.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: remove unnecessary vp->vma check in vma_prepare Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2023 18:27:19 -0800 vp->vma in vma_prepare() is always non-NULL, therefore checking it is not necessary. Remove the extra check.
