The patch titled Subject: net/xdp/xdp_umem.c: do not use mmap_sem has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was xsk-do-not-use-mmap_sem.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: net/xdp/xdp_umem.c: do not use mmap_sem Holding mmap_sem exclusively for a gup() is an overkill. Lets replace the call for gup_fast() and let the mm take it if necessary.
