The patch titled
Subject: mm: change fault_in_pages_* to have an unsigned size parameter
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-change-fault_in_pages_-to-have-an-unsigned-size-parameter.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: change fault_in_pages_* to have an unsigned size parameter
fault_in_pages_writeable() and fault_in_pages_readable() treat the size
parameter as unsigned, doing pointer math with the value, so make this
explicit and set it to be a size_t type which all callers currently treat
it as anyway.
This solves the issue where static checkers get nervous seeing pointer
arithmetic happening with a signed value.
