The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm-store-zero-pages-to-be-swapped-out-in-a-bitmap-v8
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-store-zero-pages-to-be-swapped-out-in-a-bitmap-v8.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-store-zero-pages-to-be-swapped-out-in-a-bitmap.patch

Date: Fri, 24 May 2024 14:52:55 +0100
Changes from v7 (Johannes):
- Give overview and explain how locking works in zeromap in comments
- Add comment for why last word is checked first when checking if
folio is zero-filled
- Merge is_folio_zero_filled and is_folio_page_zero_filled into
1 function.
- Use folio_zero_range to fill a folio with zero at readtime.
- Put swap_zeromap_folio_clear in an else branch (even if checkpatch
gives warning) and add comment to make it explicitly clear that it
needs to happen if folio is not zero filled.
- add missing kvfree for zeromap incase swapon fails.
