The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: open-code PageTail in folio_flags() and const_folio_flags() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-open-code-pagetail-in-folio_flags-and-const_folio_flags.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: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" willy@infradead.org Subject: mm: open-code PageTail in folio_flags() and const_folio_flags() Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2024 20:17:18 +0000

It is unsafe to call PageTail() in dump_page() as page_is_fake_head() will almost certainly return true when called on a head page that is copied to the stack. That will cause the VM_BUG_ON_PGFLAGS() in const_folio_flags() to trigger when it shouldn't. Fortunately, we don't need to call PageTail() here; it's fine to have a pointer to a virtual alias of the page's flag word rather than the real page's flag word.
