The patch titled Subject: mm/mmap: leverage vma_rb_erase_ignore() to implement vma_rb_erase() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-mmap-leverage-vma_rb_erase_ignore-to-implement-vma_rb_erase.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap: leverage vma_rb_erase_ignore() to implement vma_rb_erase() These two functions share the same logic except ignore a different vma. Let's reuse the code.
