The patch titled Subject: mm/memory_hotplug.c: drop mem_blk check from unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memory_hotplug-drop-unneeded-check-from-unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oscar Salvador <osalvador@xxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory_hotplug.c: drop mem_blk check from unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes() Before calling to unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes(), remove_memory_section() already checks if we got a valid memory_block. No need to check that again in unregister_mem_sect_under_nodes().
