The patch titled Subject: mm: don't return the number of pages from map_kernel_range{,_noflush} has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-dont-return-the-number-of-pages-from-map_kernel_range_noflush.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: mm: don't return the number of pages from map_kernel_range{,_noflush} None of the callers needs the number of pages, and a 0 / -errno return value is a lot more intuitive.
