The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/mempolicy: refactor a read-once mechanism into a function for re-use
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-mempolicy-refactor-a-read-once-mechanism-into-a-function-for-re-use.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: mm/mempolicy: refactor a read-once mechanism into a function for re-use
Date: Fri, 2 Feb 2024 12:02:36 -0500
Move the use of barrier() to force policy->nodemask onto the stack into a
function `read_once_policy_nodemask` so that it may be re-used.
