The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     drivers-ibhfi1-do-not-se-mmap_sem.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: drivers/IB,hfi1: do not se mmap_sem

This driver already uses gup_fast() and thus we can just drop the mmap_sem
protection around the pinned_vm counter.  Note that the window between
when hfi1_can_pin_pages() is called and the actual counter is incremented
remains the same as mmap_sem was _only_ used for when ->pinned_vm was
touched.
