The patch titled
mm: restore KERNEL_DS optimisations
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-restore-kernel_ds-optimisations.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: mm: restore KERNEL_DS optimisations
From: Nick Piggin <npiggin@xxxxxxx>
Restore the KERNEL_DS optimisation, especially helpful to the 2copy write
path.
This may be a pretty questionable gain in most cases, especially after the
legacy 2copy write path is removed, but it doesn't cost much.
