The patch titled
     Subject: mm/mmap.c: prev could be retrieved from vma->vm_prev
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mmapc-prev-could-be-retrieved-from-vma-vm_prev.patch

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

Subject: mm/mmap.c: prev could be retrieved from vma->vm_prev

Currently __vma_unlink_common handles two cases:

  * has_prev
  * or not

When has_prev is false, it is obvious prev is calculated from vma->vm_prev
in __vma_unlink_common.

When has_prev is true, the prev is passed through from __vma_unlink_prev
in __vma_adjust for non-case 8.  And at the beginning next is calculated
from vma->vm_next, which implies vma is next->vm_prev.

The above statement sounds a little complicated, while to think in another
point of view, no matter whether vma and next is swapped, the mmap link
list still preserves its property.  It is proper to access vma->vm_prev.
