The patch titled Subject: seq_file: remove m->version has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was seq_file-remove-m-version.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: seq_file: remove m->version The process maps file was the only user of version (introduced back in 2005). Now that it uses ppos instead, we can remove it.
