The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/hugetlb: simplify refs in memfd_alloc_folio has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-hugetlb-simplify-refs-in-memfd_alloc_folio.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: Steve Sistare steven.sistare@oracle.com Subject: mm/hugetlb: simplify refs in memfd_alloc_folio Date: Wed, 4 Sep 2024 12:41:08 -0700

The folio_try_get in memfd_alloc_folio is not necessary. Delete it, and delete the matching folio_put in memfd_pin_folios. This also avoids leaking a ref if the memfd_alloc_folio call to hugetlb_add_to_page_cache fails. That error path is also broken in a second way -- when its folio_put causes the ref to become 0, it will implicitly call free_huge_folio, but then the path *explicitly* calls free_huge_folio. Delete the latter.

This is a continuation of the fix "mm/hugetlb: fix memfd_pin_folios free_huge_pages leak"
