The patch titled Subject: mm, vmscan: wake up all pfmemalloc-throttled processes at once has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmscan-wake-up-all-pfmemalloc-throttled-processes-at-once.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm, vmscan: wake up all pfmemalloc-throttled processes at once Kswapd in balance_pgdate() currently uses wake_up() on processes waiting in throttle_direct_reclaim(), which only wakes up a single process. This might leave processes waiting for longer than necessary, until the check is reached in the next loop iteration. Processes might also be left waiting if zone was fully balanced in single iteration. Note that the comment in balance_pgdat() also says "Wake them", so waking up a single process does not seem intentional. Thus, replace wake_up() with wake_up_all().
