The patch titled ufs: alloc metadata null page fix has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ufs-alloc-metadata-null-page-fix.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ufs: alloc metadata null page fix From: Evgeniy Dushistov <dushistov@xxxxxxx> These series of patches result of UFS1 write support stress testing, like running fsx-linux, untar and build linux kernel etc We pass from ufs::get_block_t to levels below: pointer to the current page, to make possible things like reallocation of blocks on the fly, and we also uses this pointer for indication, what actually we allocate data block or meta data block, but currently we make decision about what we allocate on the wrong level, this may and cause oops if we allocate blocks in some special order.
