The patch titled Subject: fs/file.c: replace alloc_fdmem() with kvmalloc() alternative has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-file-replace-alloc_fdmem-with-kvmalloc-alternative.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/file.c: replace alloc_fdmem() with kvmalloc() alternative There is no real reason to duplicate kvmalloc* helpers so drop alloc_fdmem and replace it with the appropriate library function.
