The patch titled
     Subject: mm: workingset: restore refault tracking for single-page files
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-workingset-restore-refault-tracking-for-single-page-files.patch

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

From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: workingset: restore refault tracking for single-page files

Shadow entries in the page cache used to be accounted behind the radix
tree implementation's back in the upper bits of node->count, and the radix
tree code extending a single-entry tree with a shadow entry in root->rnode
would corrupt that counter.  As a result, we could not put shadow entries
at index 0 if the tree didn't have any other entries, and that means no
refault detection for any single-page file.

Now that the shadow entries are tracked natively in the radix tree's
exceptional counter, this is no longer necessary.  Extending and shrinking
the tree from and to single entries in root->rnode now does the right
thing when the entry is exceptional, remove that limitation.
