The patch titled
readahead: insert cond_resched() calls
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
readahead-insert-cond_resched-calls.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.

Subject: readahead: insert cond_resched() calls
From: Wu Fengguang <wfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Since the VM_MAX_READAHEAD is greatly enlarged and the algorithm more
complex, it becomes necessary to insert some cond_resched() calls in
the read-ahead path.
If desktop users still feel audio jitters with the new read-ahead code,
please try one of the following ways to get rid of it:
1) compile kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY/CONFIG_PREEMPT
2) reduce the read-ahead request size by running
blockdev --setra 256 /dev/hda # or whatever device you are using
