The patch titled
Subject: userfaultfd: optimize read() and poll() to be O(1)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
userfaultfd-optimize-read-and-poll-to-be-o1.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: userfaultfd: optimize read() and poll() to be O(1)
This makes read O(1) and poll that was already O(1) becomes lockless.
