The patch titled
Subject: shmem_swapin_page(): fix error processing for get_swap_device()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
shmem_swapin_page-fix-error-processing-for-get_swap_device.patch
This patch was dropped because it is obsolete
------------------------------------------------------
From: Huang Ying <ying.huang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: shmem_swapin_page(): fix error processing for get_swap_device()
If we hit this rare race, returning EINVAL (or even -EINVAL) would cause
the page fault to be handled as a SIGBUS. This is not correct; the page
is not missing or unreadable, it has simply changed location. Returning
-EEXIST here will cause the lookup to be retried by the caller.
