The quilt patch titled Subject: proc: mark more files as permanent has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was proc-mark-more-files-as-permanent.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: mark more files as permanent Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 20:35:23 +0300 Mark /proc/devices /proc/kpagecount /proc/kpageflags /proc/kpagecgroup /proc/loadavg /proc/meminfo /proc/softirqs /proc/uptime /proc/version as permanent /proc entries, saving alloc/free and some list/spinlock ops per use. These files are never removed by the kernel so it is OK to mark them.
