The patch titled handle SLOB with sparsemen has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was handle-slob-with-sparsemen.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: handle SLOB with sparsemen From: Yasunori Goto <y-goto@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This is to disallow to make SLOB with SMP or SPARSEMEM.
