The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/gup: local lru_add_drain() to avoid lru_add_drain_all() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-gup-local-lru_add_drain-to-avoid-lru_add_drain_all.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: Hugh Dickins hughd@google.com Subject: mm/gup: local lru_add_drain() to avoid lru_add_drain_all() Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2025 15:16:53 -0700 (PDT)
In many cases, if collect_longterm_unpinnable_folios() does need to drain the LRU cache to release a reference, the cache in question is on this same CPU, and much more efficiently drained by a preliminary local lru_add_drain(), than the later cross-CPU lru_add_drain_all().
Marked for stable, to counter the increase in lru_add_drain_all()s from "mm/gup: check ref_count instead of lru before migration". Note for clean backports: can take 6.16 commit a03db236aebf ("gup: optimize longterm pin_user_pages() for large folio") first.
