The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap.c: change __install_special_mapping() args order has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmapc-change-static-function-__install_special_mapping-args-order.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Chen Gang <gang.chen.5i5j@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap.c: change __install_special_mapping() args order Make __install_special_mapping() args order match the caller, so the caller can pass their register args directly to callee with no touch. For most of architectures, args (at least the first 5th args) are in registers, so this change will have effect on most of architectures. For -O2, __install_special_mapping() may be inlined under most of architectures, but for -Os, it should not. So this change can get a little better performance for -Os, at least.
