The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: don't skip arch_sync_kernel_mappings() in error paths has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-dont-skip-arch_sync_kernel_mappings-in-error-paths.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
------------------------------------------------------ From: Ryan Roberts ryan.roberts@arm.com Subject: mm: don't skip arch_sync_kernel_mappings() in error paths Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2025 12:16:09 +0000
Fix callers that previously skipped calling arch_sync_kernel_mappings() if an error occurred during a pgtable update. The call is still required to sync any pgtable updates that may have occurred prior to hitting the error condition.
These are theoretical bugs discovered during code review.
