The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: always initialise folio->_deferred_list has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-always-initialise-folio-_deferred_list.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 ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: always initialise folio->_deferred_list Date: Thu, 21 Mar 2024 14:24:39 +0000 Patch series "Various significant MM patches". These patches all interact in annoying ways which make it tricky to send them out in any way other than a big batch, even though there's not really an overarching theme to connect them. The big effects of this patch series are: - folio_test_hugetlb() becomes reliable, even when called without a page reference - We free up PG_slab, and we could always use more page flags - We no longer need to check PageSlab before calling page_mapcount() This patch (of 9): For compound pages which are at least order-2 (and hence have a deferred_list), initialise it and then we can check at free that the page is not part of a deferred list. We recently found this useful to rule out a source of corruption.
