The quilt patch titled Subject: mm: compaction: remove unneeded return value of kcompactd_run has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-compaction-remove-unneeded-return-value-of-kcompactd_run.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mm-stable ------------------------------------------------------ From: Miaohe Lin <linmiaohe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: compaction: remove unneeded return value of kcompactd_run Patch series "A few cleanup and fixup patches for compaction". This series contains a few patches to clean up some obsolete comment, remove unneeded return value and so on. Also we fix the possible NULL pointer dereference. More details can be found in the respective changelogs. This patch (of 12): The return value of kcompactd_run() is unused now. Clean it up.
