The quilt patch titled
Subject: arm: adjust_pte() use pte_offset_map_nolock()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
arm-adjust_pte-use-pte_offset_map_nolock.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: arm: adjust_pte() use pte_offset_map_nolock()
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 21:33:08 -0700 (PDT)
Instead of pte_lockptr(), use the recently added pte_offset_map_nolock()
in adjust_pte(): because it gives the not-locked ptl for precisely that
pte, which the caller can then safely lock; whereas pte_lockptr() is not
so tightly coupled, because it dereferences the pmd pointer again.
