The quilt patch titled
Subject: kexec: use atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire() in kexec_trylock()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kexec-use-atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire-in-kexec_trylock.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: kexec: use atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire() in kexec_trylock()
Date: Fri, 19 Jul 2024 12:38:52 +0200
Use atomic_try_cmpxchg_acquire(*ptr, &old, new) instead of
atomic_cmpxchg_acquire(*ptr, old, new) == old in kexec_trylock().
x86 CMPXCHG instruction returns success in ZF flag, so
this change saves a compare after cmpxchg.
