The patch titled
Remove uses of kmem_cache_t from mm/* and include/linux/slab.h
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
remove-uses-of-kmem_cache_t-from-mm-and-include-linux-slabh.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Remove uses of kmem_cache_t from mm/* and include/linux/slab.h
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
Remove all uses of kmem_cache_t (the most were left in slab.h). The
typedef for kmem_cache_t is then only necessary for other kernel
subsystems. Add a comment to that effect.
