The patch titled Subject: fs: inode: count invalidated shadow pages in pginodesteal has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-inode-count-invalidated-shadow-pages-in-pginodesteal.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Johannes Weiner <hannes@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs: inode: count invalidated shadow pages in pginodesteal pginodesteal is supposed to capture the impact that inode reclaim has on the page cache state. Currently, it doesn't consider shadow pages that get dropped this way, even though this can have a significant impact on paging behavior, memory pressure calculations etc. To improve visibility into these effects, make sure shadow pages get counted when they get dropped through inode reclaim. This changes the return value semantics of invalidate_mapping_pages() semantics slightly, but the only two users are the inode shrinker itsel and a usb driver that logs it for debugging purposes.
