The patch titled
Subject: mm, printk: introduce new format string for flags
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-printk-introduce-new-format-string-for-flags.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, printk: introduce new format string for flags
In mm we use several kinds of flags bitfields that are sometimes printed
for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs. To make them
easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we want to
dump also the symbolic flag names. So far this has been done with
repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not usable
for e.g. sysfs export.
To get a more reliable and universal solution, this patch extends printk()
format string for pointers to handle the page flags (%pGp), gfp_flags
(%pGg) and vma flags (%pGv). Existing users of dump_flag_names() are
converted and simplified.
It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the %p
format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel
structures, so it's a good fit, and the extra indirection in a
non-critical path is negligible.
[linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx: lots of good implementation suggestions]

+Flags bitfields such as page flags, gfp_flags:
+
+ %pGp referenced|uptodate|lru|active|private
+ %pGg GFP_USER|GFP_DMA32|GFP_NOWARN
+ %pGv read|exec|mayread|maywrite|mayexec|denywrite
+
+ For printing flags bitfields as a collection of symbolic constants that
+ would construct the value. The type of flags is given by the third
+ character. Currently supported are [p]age flags, [v]ma_flags (both
+ expect unsigned long *) and [g]fp_flags (expects gfp_t *). The flag
+ names and print order depends on the particular type.
+
+ Note that this format should not be used directly in TP_printk() part
+ of a tracepoint. Instead, use the show_*_flags() functions from
+ <trace/events/mmflags.h>.
