The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: always inline _compound_head() with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP=y
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-always-inline-_compound_head-with-config_hugetlb_page_optimize_vmemmap=y.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

Subject: mm: always inline _compound_head() with CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP=y
Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2024 14:22:10 +0200
We already force-inline page_fixed_fake_head(), page_is_fake_head() and
PageTail(), however the compiler might decide that _compound_head() is not
worthy to be inlined, because of page_fixed_fake_head().
The result is that, for example, PageAnonExclusive() now might involve a
function call when checking PageHuge(), which performs a
page_folio()->_compound_head() call. This can lead to a slight regression
of the stress-ng.clone benchmark.
This is not super-urgent to fix, but always inlining _compound_head()
seems like the obvious thing to do for this primitive, similar to the
other ones.
This change restores the slight regression and a compilation with
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP=y shows no relevant bloat [2]:
