The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm: zswap: remove same_filled_pages from docs
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-zswap-remove-same_filled-module-params-fix.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into mm-zswap-remove-same_filled-module-params.patch

-When zswap same-filled page identification is disabled at runtime, it will stop
-checking for the same-value filled pages during store operation.
-In other words, every page will be then considered non-same-value filled.
-However, the existing pages which are marked as same-value filled pages remain
-stored unchanged in zswap until they are either loaded or invalidated.

-In some circumstances it might be advantageous to make use of just the zswap

-compressed page storage.
-In this case the handling of non-same-value pages by zswap (enabled by default)

pressure on swap (this will result in flipping pages in and out zswap pool
without any real benefit but with a performance drop for the system), a
