The patch titled
Subject: mm: refactor vm_area_struct::anon_vma_name usage code
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-refactor-vm_area_struct-anon_vma_name-usage-code.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Suren Baghdasaryan <surenb@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: refactor vm_area_struct::anon_vma_name usage code
Avoid mixing strings and their anon_vma_name referenced pointers by using
struct anon_vma_name whenever possible. This simplifies the code and
allows easier sharing of anon_vma_name structures when they represent the
same name.
[surenb@xxxxxxxxxx: fix comment]
