The patch titled
Subject: z3fold: don't fail kernel build if z3fold_header is too big
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
z3fold-dont-fail-kernel-build-if-z3fold_header-is-too-big.patch
This patch was dropped because it was nacked
------------------------------------------------------
From: Vitaly Wool <vitalywool@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: z3fold: don't fail kernel build if z3fold_header is too big
Currently the whole kernel build will be stopped if the size of struct
z3fold_header is greater than the size of one chunk, which is 64 bytes by
default. This may stand in the way of automated test/debug builds so
let's remove that and just fail the z3fold initialization in such case
instead.
