The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: pagemap: restrict pagewalk to the requested range
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-pagemap-restrict-pagewalk-to-the-requested-range.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: mm: pagemap: restrict pagewalk to the requested range
Date: Tue, 16 May 2023 01:26:08 +0800
The pagewalk in pagemap_read reads one PTE past the end of the requested
range, and stops when the buffer runs out of space. While it produces
the right result, the extra read is unnecessary and less performant.
I timed the following command before and after this patch:
dd count=100000 if=/proc/self/pagemap of=/dev/null
The results are consistently within 0.001s across 5 runs.
