The quilt patch titled
Subject: scripts: fix gfp-translate after ___GFP_*_BITS conversion to an enum
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
scripts-fix-gfp-translate-after-___gfp__bits-conversion-to-an-enum.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: scripts: fix gfp-translate after ___GFP_*_BITS conversion to an enum
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2024 17:38:50 +0100

Richard reports that since 772dd0342727c ("mm: enumerate all gfp flags"), gfp-translate is broken, as the bit numbers are implicit, leaving the shell script unable to extract them. Even more, some bits are now at a variable location, making it double extra hard to parse using a simple shell script.

Use a brute-force approach to the problem by generating a small C stub that will use the enum to dump the interesting bits.

As an added bonus, we are now able to identify invalid bits for a given configuration. As an added drawback, we cannot parse include files that predate this change anymore. Tough luck.

Fixes 772dd0342727 ("mm: enumerate all gfp flags")
