The quilt patch titled
Subject: init: open /initrd.image with O_LARGEFILE
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
init-open-initrdimage-with-o_largefile.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: init: open /initrd.image with O_LARGEFILE
Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2024 15:15:22 -0700
If initrd data is larger than 2Gb, we'll eventually fail to write to the
/initrd.image file when we hit that limit, unless O_LARGEFILE is set.
