The quilt patch titled Subject: fs: use nth_page() in place of direct struct page manipulation has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-use-nth_page-in-place-of-direct-struct-page-manipulation.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

When dealing with hugetlb pages, struct page is not guaranteed to be contiguous on SPARSEMEM without VMEMMAP. Use nth_page() to handle it properly.
Without the fix, a wrong subpage might be checked for HWPoison, causing wrong number of bytes of a page copied to user space. No bug is reported. The fix comes from code inspection.
