The patch titled Subject: mm: remove seemingly spurious reclaimability check from laptop_mode gating has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-remove-seemingly-spurious-reclaimability-check-from-laptop_mode-gating.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: remove seemingly spurious reclaimability check from laptop_mode gating 1d82de618ddd ("mm, vmscan: make kswapd reclaim in terms of nodes") allowed laptop_mode=1 to start writing not just when the priority drops to DEF_PRIORITY - 2 but also when the node is unreclaimable. That appears to be a spurious change in this patch as I doubt the series was tested with laptop_mode, and neither is that particular change mentioned in the changelog. Remove it, it's still recent.
