The patch titled
     dm io: delay dec_count
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     dm-io-delay-dec_count.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: dm io: delay dec_count
From: Heinz Mauelshagen <hjm@xxxxxxxxxx>

Delay decrementing the 'struct io' reference count until after the bio has
been freed so that a bio destructor function may reference it.  Required by a
later patch.
