The patch titled Subject: include/linux/backing-dev.h: simplify wb_stat_sum has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was writeback-simplify-wb_stat_sum.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@xxxxxxxx> Subject: include/linux/backing-dev.h: simplify wb_stat_sum wb_stat_sum() disables interrupts and calls __wb_stat_sum() which eventually calls __percpu_counter_sum(). However, the percpu routine is already irq-safe. Simplify the code a bit by making wb_stat_sum() directly call percpu_counter_sum_positive() and not disable interrupts. Also remove the now-uneeded __wb_stat_sum() which was just a wrapper over percpu_counter_sum_positive().
