The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/memcg: move generation assignment and comparison together has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-memcg-move-generation-assignment-and-comparison-together.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-stable ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memcg: move generation assignment and comparison together For each round-trip, we assign generation on first invocation and compare it on subsequent invocations.
