The patch titled
Subject: asm-generic/tlb: provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
asm-generic-tlb-provide-mmu_gather_table_free.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: asm-generic/tlb: provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE
As described in the comment, the correct order for freeing pages is:
1) unhook page
2) TLB invalidate page
3) free page
This order equally applies to page directories.
Currently there are two correct options:
- use tlb_remove_page(), when all page directores are full pages and
there are no futher contraints placed by things like software
walkers (HAVE_FAST_GUP).
- use MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE and tlb_remove_table() when the
architecture does not do IPI based TLB invalidate and has
HAVE_FAST_GUP (or software TLB fill).
This however leaves architectures that don't have page based directories
but don't need RCU in a bind. For those, provide MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE,
which provides the independent batching for directories without the
additional RCU freeing.
