The patch titled
Subject: writeback: memcg: simplify cgroup_writeback_by_id
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
writeback-memcg-simplify-cgroup_writeback_by_id.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: writeback: memcg: simplify cgroup_writeback_by_id
Currently cgroup_writeback_by_id calls mem_cgroup_wb_stats() to get dirty
pages for a memcg. However mem_cgroup_wb_stats() does a lot more than
just get the number of dirty pages. Just directly get the number of dirty
pages instead of calling mem_cgroup_wb_stats(). Also
cgroup_writeback_by_id() is only called for best-effort dirty flushing, so
remove the unused 'nr' parameter and no need to explicitly flush memcg
stats.
