The patch titled
Subject: mm, dax: VMA with vm_ops->pfn_mkwrite wants to be write-notified
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-dax-vma-with-vm_ops-pfn_mkwrite-wants-to-be-write-notified.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, dax: VMA with vm_ops->pfn_mkwrite wants to be write-notified
For VM_PFNMAP and VM_MIXEDMAP we use vm_ops->pfn_mkwrite instead of
vm_ops->page_mkwrite to notify abort write access. This means we want
vma->vm_page_prot to be write-protected if the VMA provides this vm_ops.
A theoretical scenario that will cause these missed events is:
On writable mapping with vm_ops->pfn_mkwrite, but without
vm_ops->page_mkwrite: read fault followed by write access to the pfn.
Writable pte will be set up on read fault and write fault will not be
generated.
I found it examining Dave's complaint on generic/080:
http://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150831233803.GO3902@dastard
Although I don't think it's the reason.
It shouldn't be a problem for ext2/ext4 as they provide both pfn_mkwrite
and page_mkwrite.
[akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: add local vm_ops to avoid 80-cols mess]
