The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/pgtable: add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-pgtable-add-rcu_read_lock-and-rcu_read_unlocks.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch

Subject: mm/pgtable: add rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock()s
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 21:30:40 -0700 (PDT)
Patch series "mm: free retracted page table by RCU", v3.
Some mmap_lock avoidance i.e. latency reduction. Initially just for the
case of collapsing shmem or file pages to THPs: the usefulness of
MADV_COLLAPSE on shmem is being limited by that mmap_write_lock it
currently requires.
Likely to be relied upon later in other contexts e.g. freeing of empty
page tables (but that's not work I'm doing). mmap_write_lock avoidance
when collapsing to anon THPs? Perhaps, but again that's not work I've
done: a quick attempt was not as easy as the shmem/file case.
These changes (though of course not these exact patches) have been in
Google's data centre kernel for three years now: we do rely upon them.
This patch (of 13):
Before putting them to use (several commits later), add rcu_read_lock() to
pte_offset_map(), and rcu_read_unlock() to pte_unmap(). Make this a
separate commit, since it risks exposing imbalances: prior commits have
fixed all the known imbalances, but we may find some have been missed.
