The patch titled
Subject: mm: show message when updating min_free_kbytes in thp
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-show-message-when-updating-min_free_kbytes-in-thp.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Han Pingtian <hanpt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: show message when updating min_free_kbytes in thp
min_free_kbytes may be raised during THP's initialization. Sometimes,
this will change the value which was set by the user. Showing this
message will clarify this confusion.
Only show this message when changing a value which was set by the user
according to Michal Hocko's suggestion.
Show the old value of min_free_kbytes according to Dave Hansen's
suggestion. This will give user the chance to restore old value of
min_free_kbytes.
