The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/madvise: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-madvise-fix-potential-pte_unmap_unlock-pte-error.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-stable ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/madvise: fix potential pte_unmap_unlock pte error We can't assume pte_offset_map_lock will return same orig_pte value. So it's necessary to reacquire the orig_pte or pte_unmap_unlock will unmap the stale pte.
