The patch titled
SLUB: Do not use page->mapping
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
slub-do-not-use-page-mapping.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: SLUB: Do not use page->mapping
From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx>
After moving the lockless_freelist to kmem_cache_cpu we no longer need
page->lockless_freelist. Restructure the use of the struct page fields in
such a way that we never touch the mapping field.
This is turn allows us to remove the special casing of SLUB when determining
the mapping of a page (needed for corner cases of virtual caches machines that
need to flush caches of processors mapping a page).
