The patch titled aio: kill pointless ki_nbytes assignment in aio_setup_single_vector has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was aio-kill-pointless-ki_nbytes-assignment-in-aio_setup_single_vector.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: aio: kill pointless ki_nbytes assignment in aio_setup_single_vector From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@xxxxxxxxx> io_submit_one assigns ki_left = ki_nbytes = iocb->aio_nbytes, then calls down to aio_setup_iocb, then to aio_setup_single_vector. In there, ki_nbytes is reassigned to the same value it got two call stack above it. There is no need to do so.
