The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: fix some minor per-VMA lock issues in userfaultfd has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-fix-some-minor-per-vma-lock-issues-in-userfaultfd.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: fix some minor per-VMA lock issues in userfaultfd Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2024 15:45:02 +0100 Rename lock_vma() to uffd_lock_vma() because it really is uffd specific. Remove comment referencing unlock_vma() which doesn't exist. Fix the comment about lock_vma_under_rcu() which I just made incorrect.
