This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    mm/mmu_notifier: fix mmget() assert in __mmu_interval_notifier_insert

to the 5.8-stable tree which can be found at:
    http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary

The filename of the patch is:
     mm-mmu_notifier-fix-mmget-assert-in-__mmu_interval_n.patch
and it can be found in the queue-5.8 subdirectory.

If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree,
please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it.

This patch has no reason to go into the stable trees. It just makes an
assertion stricter (mm_users>0 implies mm_count>0). It only has an
effect if your kernel is horrendously broken anyway.

Please take it out of the stable queue.

Will do.
