The patch titled
Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: initialize num_movable in move_freepages()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_alloc-set-num_movable-in-move_freepages.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: initialize num_movable in move_freepages()
If move_freepages_block() returns 0 because !zone_spans_pfn(),
*num_movable can hold the value from the stack because it does not get
initialized in move_freepages().
Move the initialization to move_freepages_block() to guarantee the value
actually makes sense.
This currently doesn't affect its only caller where num_movable != NULL,
so no bug fix, but just more robust.
