The patch titled adapt page_lock_anon_vma() to PREEMPT_RCU has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was adapt-page_lock_anon_vma-to-preempt_rcu.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: adapt page_lock_anon_vma() to PREEMPT_RCU From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> page_lock_anon_vma() uses spin_lock() to block RCU. This doesn't work with PREEMPT_RCU, we have to do rcu_read_lock() explicitely. Otherwise, it is theoretically possible that slab returns anon_vma's memory to the system before we do spin_unlock(&anon_vma->lock).
