The quilt patch titled
Subject: powerpc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing page
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
powerpc-add-pte_free_defer-for-pgtables-sharing-page.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: powerpc: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing page
Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 21:35:59 -0700 (PDT)
Add powerpc-specific pte_free_defer(), to free table page via call_rcu().
pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon. This precedes
the generic version to avoid build breakage from incompatible pgtable_t.
This is awkward because the struct page contains only one rcu_head, but
that page may be shared between PTE_FRAG_NR pagetables, each wanting to
use the rcu_head at the same time. But powerpc never reuses a fragment
once it has been freed: so mark the page Active in pte_free_defer(),
before calling pte_fragment_free() directly; and there call_rcu() to
pte_free_now() when last fragment is freed and the page is PageActive.
