The patch titled
Subject: mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_owner-debug_pagealloc-save-and-dump-freeing-stack-trace.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace
The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator
users that cause e.g. use after free or double free. When page
inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call
stack of process that last allocated and freed the page. When page_owner
is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing.
This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page
owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and
enabled. With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the
memory leak debugging use case. dump_page() is adjusted to print the
info. An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like
this (note the page last free stack trace):
BUG: Bad page state in process bash pfn:13d8f8
