The quilt patch titled
Subject: writeback: fix done_index when hitting the wbc->nr_to_write
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
writeback-fix-done_index-when-hitting-the-wbc-nr_to_write.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: writeback: fix done_index when hitting the wbc->nr_to_write
Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 07:36:38 +0100
When write_cache_pages finishes writing out a folio, it fails to update
done_index to account for the number of pages in the folio just written.
That means when range_cyclic writeback is restarted, it will be restarted
at this folio instead of after it as it should. Fix that by updating
done_index before breaking out of the loop.
