Subject: mm, page_alloc: prevent infinite loop in buffered_rmqueue()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, page_alloc: prevent infinite loop in buffered_rmqueue()
In DEBUG_VM kernel, we can hit infinite loop for order == 0 in
buffered_rmqueue() when check_new_pcp() returns 1, because the bad page is
never removed from the pcp list. Fix this by removing the page before
retrying. Also we don't need to check if page is non-NULL, because we
simply grab it from the list which was just tested for being non-empty.
Fixes: 479f854a207c ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP")
