The quilt patch titled Subject: readahead: drop pointless index from force_page_cache_ra() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was readahead-drop-pointless-index-from-force_page_cache_ra.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: Jan Kara <jack@xxxxxxx> Subject: readahead: drop pointless index from force_page_cache_ra() Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2024 12:18:54 +0200 Current index to readahead is tracked in readahead_control and properly updated by page_cache_ra_unbounded() (read_pages() in fact). So there's no need to track the index separately in force_page_cache_ra().
