The patch titled
Mark page cache pages as __GFP_PAGECACHE instead of __GFP_MOVABLE
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
add-__gfp_movable-for-callers-to-flag-allocations-from-high-memory-that-may-be-migrated-mark-page-cache-pages-as-__gfp_pagecache-instead-of-__gfp_movable.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into add-__gfp_movable-for-callers-to-flag-allocations-from-high-memory-that-may-be-migrated.patch

Subject: Mark page cache pages as __GFP_PAGECACHE instead of __GFP_MOVABLE
From: Mel Gorman <mel@xxxxxxxxx>
This patch marks page cache allocations as __GFP_PAGECACHE instead of
__GFP_MOVABLE. To make code easier to read, a set of three GFP flags are
added called GFP_PAGECACHE, GFP_NOFS_PAGECACHE and GFP_HIGHUSER_PAGECACHE.
grow_dev_page() is changed to use GFP_NOFS_PAGECACHE instead of
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE. Marking them as __GFP_RECLAIMABLE was a mistake as they
should be grouped with other pagecache pages. bdget() no longer uses mobility
flags after this patch because it is does not appear that any pages allocated
on behalf of the mapping are movable so it needs to be revisited separately.
The allocations required for radix trees are still treated as RECLAIMABLE
after this patch is applied.
