The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm/mremap: fix dup_anon_vma() in vma_merge() case 4
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mremap-fix-dup_anon_vma-in-vma_merge-case-4.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

Subject: mm/mremap: fix dup_anon_vma() in vma_merge() case 4

In case 4, we are shrinking 'prev' (PPPP in the comment) and expanding
'mid' (NNNN).  So we need to make sure 'mid' clones the anon_vma from
'prev', if it doesn't have any.  After commit 0503ea8f5ba7 ("mm/mmap:
remove __vma_adjust()") we can fail to do that due to wrong parameters for
dup_anon_vma().  The call is a no-op because res == next, adjust == mid
and mid == next.  Fix it.
