The patch titled Subject: arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c: do not use mmap_sem for gup_fast() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mips-c-r4k-do-no-use-mmap_sem-for-gup_fast.patch This patch was dropped because other changes were merged, which wrecked this patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: arch/mips/mm/c-r4k.c: do not use mmap_sem for gup_fast() It is well known that because the mm can internally call the regular gup_unlocked if the lockless approach fails and take the sem there, the caller must not hold the mmap_sem already.
