The patch titled Subject: mm: code cleanup for MADV_FREE has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-code-cleanup-for-madv_free.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-code-cleanup-for-madv_free.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-code-cleanup-for-madv_free.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: code cleanup for MADV_FREE Some comments for MADV_FREE is revised and added to help people understand the MADV_FREE code, especially the page flag, PG_swapbacked. This makes page_is_file_cache() isn't consistent with its comments. So the function is renamed to page_is_file_lru() to make them consistent again. All these are put in one patch as one logical change.
