The quilt patch titled Subject: memfd: check for non-NULL file_seals in memfd_create() syscall has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was memfd-check-for-non-null-file_seals-in-memfd_create-syscall.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: Roberto Sassu roberto.sassu@huawei.com Subject: memfd: check for non-NULL file_seals in memfd_create() syscall Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2023 15:24:27 +0200

Ensure that file_seals is non-NULL before using it in the memfd_create() syscall. One situation in which memfd_file_seals_ptr() could return a NULL pointer when CONFIG_SHMEM=n, oopsing the kernel.
