The patch titled
valid_swaphandles() fix
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
valid_swaphandles-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: valid_swaphandles() fix
From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@xxxxxxxxxxx>
akpm draws my attention to the fact that sysctl(VM_PAGE_CLUSTER) might
conceivably change page_cluster to 0 while valid_swaphandles() is in the
middle of using it, leading to an embarrassingly long loop: take a local
snapshot of page_cluster and work with that.
