The patch titled Profiling: require buffer allocation on the correct node has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is profiling-require-buffer-allocation-on-the-correct-node.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Profiling: require buffer allocation on the correct node From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> Profiling really suffers with off node buffers. Fail if no memory is available on the nodes. The profiling code can deal with these failures should they occur.
