The quilt patch titled
Subject: mips: use nth_page() in place of direct struct page manipulation
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mips-use-nth_page-in-place-of-direct-struct-page-manipulation.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch

Subject: mips: use nth_page() in place of direct struct page manipulation
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2023 16:12:48 -0400
__flush_dcache_pages() is called during hugetlb migration via
migrate_pages() -> migrate_hugetlbs() -> unmap_and_move_huge_page() ->
move_to_new_folio() -> flush_dcache_folio(). And with hugetlb and without
sparsemem vmemmap, struct page is not guaranteed to be contiguous beyond a
section. Use nth_page() instead.
Without the fix, a wrong address might be used for data cache page flush.
No bug is reported. The fix comes from code inspection.
