The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-numa_balancing-teach-mpol_to_str-about-the-balancing-mode.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: mm/numa_balancing: teach mpol_to_str about the balancing mode
Date: Mon, 8 Jul 2024 08:56:32 +0100

Since balancing mode was added in bda420b98505 ("numa balancing: migrate
on fault among multiple bound nodes"), it was possible to set this mode
but it wouldn't be shown in /proc/<pid>/numa_maps since there was no
support for it in the mpol_to_str() helper.

Furthermore, because the balancing mode sets the MPOL_F_MORON flag, it
would be displayed as 'default' due a workaround introduced a few years
earlier in 8790c71a18e5 ("mm/mempolicy.c: fix mempolicy printing in
numa_maps").

To tidy this up we implement two changes:

Replace the MPOL_F_MORON check by pointer comparison against the
preferred_node_policy array.  By doing this we generalise the current
special casing and replace the incorrect 'default' with the correct 'bind'
for the mode.

Secondly, we add a string representation and corresponding handling for
the MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING flag.

With the two changes together we start showing the balancing flag when it
is set and therefore complete the fix.

Representation format chosen is to separate multiple flags with vertical
bars, following what existed long time ago in kernel 2.6.25.  But as
between then and now there wasn't a way to display multiple flags, this
patch does not change the format in practice.

Some /proc/<pid>/numa_maps output examples:

 555559580000 bind=balancing:0-1,3 file=...
 555585800000 bind=balancing|static:0,2 file=...
 555635240000 prefer=relative:0 file=
