The patch titled quicklist: Set tlb->need_flush if pages are remaining in quicklist 0 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was quicklist-set-tlb-need_flush-if-pages-are-remaining-in-quicklist-0.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: quicklist: Set tlb->need_flush if pages are remaining in quicklist 0 From: Christoph Lameter <clameter@xxxxxxx> This ensures that the quicklists are drained. Otherwise draining may only occur when the processor reaches an idle state. Fixes fatal leakage of pgd_t's on 2.6.22 and later.
