The patch titled Drop free_pages() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is drop-free_pages.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Drop free_pages() From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> nr_free_pages is now a simple access to a global variable. Make it a macro instead of a function. The nr_free_pages now requires vmstat.h to be included. There is one occurrence in power management where we need to add the include. Directly refrer to global_page_state() there to clarify why the #include was added.
