The patch titled
slab: page mapping cleanup
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
slab-page-mapping-cleanup.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: slab: page mapping cleanup
From: Pekka Enberg <penberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Clean up slab allocator page mapping a bit. The memory allocated for a
slab is physically contiguous so it is okay to assume struct pages are too
so kill the long-standing comment. Furthermore, rename set_slab_attr to
slab_map_pages and add a comment explaining why its needed.
