The quilt patch titled

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: cgroup/cpuset: update some comments about the page allocator
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 11:03:19 +0000

These comments describing the page allocator are out of date:

- __alloc_pages() is no longer a public API and has no business being
  described outside of mm/.

- The `wait` variable is gone.

It may be out of date for other reasons too but this patch is just
fixing the issues that stood out.

To fix it:

- Instead of referring to a specific function, instead to "the page
  allocator"

- Completely drop out-of-date details of that function's internal
  behaviour, since they were irrelevant anyway.
