The patch titled Subject: mm/swap_slots.c: assign|reset cache slot by value directly has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-swap_slotsc-assignreset-cache-slot-by-value-directly.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/swap_slots.c: assign|reset cache slot by value directly Currently we use a tmp pointer, pentry, to transfer and reset swap cache slot, which is a little redundant. Swap cache slot stores the entry value directly, assign and reset it by value would be straight forward. Also this patch merges the else and if, since this is the only case we refill and repeat swap cache.
