The patch titled
Do not cross section boundary when moving pages between mobility lists
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
move-free-pages-between-lists-on-steal-do-not-cross-section-boundary-when-moving-pages-between-mobility-lists.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into move-free-pages-between-lists-on-steal.patch
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Do not cross section boundary when moving pages between mobility lists
From: Mel Gorman <mel@xxxxxxxxx>
move-free-pages-between-lists-on-steal-fix-2.patch fixed an issue with a
BUG_ON() that checked for a page just outside a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
boundary. In fact, the proper place to check it was earlier. A situation
can occur on SPARSEMEM where a section boundary is crossed which will cause
problems on some machines. This patch addresses the problem.
