The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/vmscan: make sure wakeup_kswapd with managed zone has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmscan-make-sure-wakeup_kswapd-with-managed-zone.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-stable ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vmscan: make sure wakeup_kswapd with managed zone wakeup_kswapd() only wake up kswapd when the zone is managed. For two callers of wakeup_kswapd(), they are node perspective. * wake_all_kswapds * numamigrate_isolate_page If we picked up a !managed zone, this is not we expected. This patch makes sure we pick up a managed zone for wakeup_kswapd(). And it also use managed_zone in migrate_balanced_pgdat() to get the proper zone.
