The patch titled
Subject: mm: fix comment before truncate_setsize()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-fix-comment-before-truncate_setsize.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: fix comment before truncate_setsize()
XFS doesn't always hold i_mutex when calling truncate_setsize() and it
uses a different lock to serialize truncates and writes. So fix the
comment before truncate_setsize().
