The quilt patch titled
Subject: kmemleak: add checksum to backtrace report
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kmemleak-add-checksum-to-backtrace-report.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch

Subject: kmemleak: add checksum to backtrace report
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2023 15:43:18 -0700
Change /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak report format slightly, adding
"(extra info)" to the backtrace header:
from: " backtrace:"
to: " backtrace (crc <cksum>):"
The <cksum> allows a user to see recurring backtraces without
detailed/careful reading of multiline stacks. So after cycling
kmemleak-test a few times, I know some leaks are repeating.
bash-5.2# grep backtrace /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak | wc
62 186 1792
bash-5.2# grep backtrace /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak | sort -u | wc
37 111 1067
syzkaller parses kmemleak for "unreferenced object" only, so is
unaffected by this change. Other github repos are moribund.
