The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/mempolicy: fix set_mempolicy_home_node() previous VMA pointer has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mempolicy-fix-set_mempolicy_home_node-previous-vma-pointer.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: "Liam R. Howlett" Liam.Howlett@oracle.com Subject: mm/mempolicy: fix set_mempolicy_home_node() previous VMA pointer Date: Thu, 28 Sep 2023 13:24:32 -0400

The two users of mbind_range() are expecting that mbind_range() will update the pointer to the previous VMA, or return an error. However, set_mempolicy_home_node() does not call mbind_range() if there is no VMA policy. The fix is to update the pointer to the previous VMA prior to continuing iterating the VMAs when there is no policy.

Users may experience a WARN_ON() during VMA policy updates when updating a range of VMAs on the home node.
