The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: mmap: map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE only if THP is enabled has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-map-map_stack-to-vm_nohugepage-only-if-thp-is-enabled.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

commit c4608d1bf7c6 ("mm: mmap: map MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE") maps the mmap option MAP_STACK to VM_NOHUGEPAGE. This is also done if CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not defined. But in that case, the VM_NOHUGEPAGE does not make sense.
I discovered this issue when trying to use the tool CRIU to checkpoint and restore a container. Our running kernel is compiled without CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE. CRIU parses the output of /proc/<pid>/smaps and saves the "nh" flag. When trying to restore the container, CRIU fails to restore the "nh" mappings, since madvise() MADV_NOHUGEPAGE always returns an error because CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is not defined.
