The patch titled Subject: mm-page_alloc-rip-out-zonelist_order_zone-fix has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-page_alloc-rip-out-zonelist_order_zone-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-page_alloc-rip-out-zonelist_order_zone.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm-page_alloc-rip-out-zonelist_order_zone-fix Abdul has noticed that reading sysctl vm.numa_zonelist_order read will never terminate. This is because of http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170714080006.7250-2-mhocko@xxxxxxxxxx where the reading side doesn't update ppos and so the reader will never get 0. Return back to proc_dostring which does all the necessary stuff.
