The quilt patch titled Subject: fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-buffer-add-folio_create_empty_buffers-helper.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: Pankaj Raghav <p.raghav@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/buffer: add folio_create_empty_buffers helper Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2023 14:36:17 +0200 Folio version of create_empty_buffers(). This is required to convert create_page_buffers() to folio_create_buffers() later in the series. It removes several calls to compound_head() as it works directly on folio compared to create_empty_buffers(). Hence, create_empty_buffers() has been modified to call folio_create_empty_buffers().
