The quilt patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-virtual_address_range-mmap-without-prot_write.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: selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: mmap() without PROT_WRITE

Patch series "selftests/mm: virtual_address_range: Reduce memory", v4.
The selftest started failing since commit e93d2521b27f ("x86/vdso: Split
virtual clock pages into dedicated mapping") was merged. While debugging
I stumbled upon some memory usage optimizations.
With these test now runs on a VM with only 60MiB of memory.
This patch (of 4):
When mapping a larger chunk than physical memory is available with
PROT_WRITE and overcommit is disabled, the mapping will fail. This will
prevent the test from running on systems with less then ~1GiB of memory
and triggering an inscrutinable test failure. As the mappings are never
written to anyways, the flag can be removed.
