The patch titled
Update Documentation/block/barrier.txt
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
update-documentation-block-barriertxt.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Update Documentation/block/barrier.txt
From: Geert Uytterhoeven <Geert.Uytterhoeven@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Documentation/block/barrier.txt is not in sync with the actual code:
- blk_queue_ordered() no longer has a gfp_mask parameter
- blk_queue_ordered_locked() no longer exists
- sd_prepare_flush() looks slightly different
