The patch titled
Subject: mm: page_vma_mapped_walk(): use pmd_read_atomic()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_vma_mapped_walk-use-pmd_read_atomic.patch
This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn
------------------------------------------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: page_vma_mapped_walk(): use pmd_read_atomic()
page_vma_mapped_walk() cleanup: use pmd_read_atomic() with barrier()
instead of READ_ONCE() for pmde: some architectures (e.g. i386 with PAE)
have a multi-word pmd entry, for which READ_ONCE() is not good enough.
