The patch titled
Subject: mm: don't call __page_cache_release for hugetlb
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-dont-call-__page_cache_release-for-hugetlb.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: don't call __page_cache_release for hugetlb
__put_compound_page() calls __page_cache_release() to do some freeing
work, but it's obviously for thps, not for hugetlb. We don't care because
PageLRU is always cleared and page->mem_cgroup is always NULL for hugetlb.
But it's not correct and has potential risks, so let's make it
conditional.
