The patch titled
Subject: mm: pagewalk: allow walking without vma
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-pagewalk-allow-walking-without-vma.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Steven Price <steven.price@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: pagewalk: allow walking without vma
Since 48684a65b4e3: "mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for
vma(VM_PFNMAP)", page_table_walk() will report any kernel area as a hole,
because it lacks a vma.
This means each arch has re-implemented page table walking when needed,
for example in the per-arch ptdump walker.
Remove the requirement to have a vma in the generic code and add a new
function walk_page_range_novma() which ignores the VMAs and simply walks
the page tables.
