The quilt patch titled
Subject: seqlock: add raw_seqcount_try_begin
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
seqlock-add-raw_seqcount_try_begin.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: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: seqlock: add raw_seqcount_try_begin
Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2024 09:44:14 -0800
Add raw_seqcount_try_begin() to opens a read critical section of the given
seqcount_t if the counter is even. This enables eliding the critical
section entirely if the counter is odd, instead of doing the speculation
knowing it will fail.
