The patch titled
Subject: MIPS: don't select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mips-use-the-generic-get_user_pages_fast-code-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into mips-use-the-generic-get_user_pages_fast-code.patch
------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>
Subject: MIPS: don't select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL
MIPS doesn't really have a proper pte_special implementation, just stubs.
It turns out they were not enough to make get_user_pages_fast work, so
drop the select. This means get_user_pages_fast won't actually use the
fast path for non-hugepage mappings, so someone who actually knows about
mips page table management should look into adding real pte_special
support.
