The patch titled SLUB: remove useless masking of GFP_ZERO has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was slub-remove-useless-masking-of-gfp_zero.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: SLUB: remove useless masking of GFP_ZERO From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> Remove a recently added useless masking of GFP_ZERO. GFP_ZERO is already masked out in new_slab() (See how it calls allocate_slab). No need to do it twice. This reverts the SLUB parts of 7fd272550bd43cc1d7289ef0ab2fa50de137e767.
