The quilt patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch

------------------------------------------------------
From: Gang Li <gang.li@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: padata: dispatch works on
different nodes Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2024 22:04:17 +0800
When a group of tasks that access different nodes are scheduled on the
same node, they may encounter bandwidth bottlenecks and access latency.
Thus, numa_aware flag is introduced here, allowing tasks to be distributed
across different nodes to fully utilize the advantage of multi-node
systems.
