The patch titled Subject: fs/proc/kcore: pfn_is_ram check only applies to KCORE_RAM has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-proc-kcore-pfn_is_ram-check-only-applies-to-kcore_ram.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: David Hildenbrand <david@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/proc/kcore: pfn_is_ram check only applies to KCORE_RAM Let's resturcture the code, using switch-case, and checking pfn_is_ram() only when we are dealing with KCORE_RAM.
