The quilt patch titled Subject: mm/vmalloc: explicitly identify vm_map_ram area when shown in /proc/vmcoreinfo has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-vmalloc-explicitly-identify-vm_map_ram-area-when-shown-in-proc-vmcoreinfo.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Baoquan He <bhe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/vmalloc: explicitly identify vm_map_ram area when shown in /proc/vmcoreinfo Date: Mon, 6 Feb 2023 16:40:17 +0800 Now, by marking VMAP_RAM in vmap_area->flags for vm_map_ram area, we can clearly differentiate it with other vmalloc areas. So identify vm_map_area area by checking VMAP_RAM of vmap_area->flags when shown in /proc/vmcoreinfo. Meanwhile, the code comment above vm_map_ram area checking in s_show() is not needed any more, remove it here.
