The quilt patch titled
Subject: shmem: use ramfs_kill_sb() for kill_sb method of ramfs-based tmpfs
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
shmem-use-ramfs_kill_sb-for-kill_sb-method-of-ramfs-based-tmpfs.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: shmem: use ramfs_kill_sb() for kill_sb method of ramfs-based tmpfs
Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2023 18:15:23 +0200
As the ramfs-based tmpfs uses ramfs_init_fs_context() for the
init_fs_context method, which allocates fc->s_fs_info, use ramfs_kill_sb()
to free it and avoid a memory leak.
