The patch titled Subject: mm, page_alloc: Check once if a zone has isolated pageblocks -fix has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-page_alloc-check-once-if-a-zone-has-isolated-pageblocks-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-page_alloc-check-once-if-a-zone-has-isolated-pageblocks.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm, page_alloc: Check once if a zone has isolated pageblocks -fix Vlastimil Babka pointed out that the original code was protected by the zone lock and provided a fix. This is a fix to the mmotm patch mm-page_alloc-check-once-if-a-zone-has-isolated-pageblocks.patch . Once applied the following line should be removed from the changelog "Technically this is race-prone but so is the existing code."
