The quilt patch titled
Subject: fork: use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
fork-use-this_cpu_try_cmpxchg-in-try_release_thread_stack_to_cache.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: fork: use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache()
Date: Thu, 23 May 2024 09:35:14 +0200
Use this_cpu_try_cmpxchg() instead of this_cpu_cmpxchg (*ptr, old, new) ==
old in try_release_thread_stack_to_cache. x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns
success in ZF flag, so this change saves a compare after cmpxchg (and
related move instruction in front of cmpxchg).
No functional change intended.
[ubizjak@xxxxxxxxx: simplify the for loop a bit]
