The patch titled Subject: mm/backing-dev.c: use might_alloc() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was bdi-use-might_alloc.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/backing-dev.c: use might_alloc() Now that my little helper has landed, use it more. On top of the existing check this also uses lockdep through the fs_reclaim annotations.
