The patch titled
uml: activate_mm: remove the dead PF_BORROWED_MM check
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
uml-activate_mm-remove-the-dead-pf_borrowed_mm-check.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: uml: activate_mm: remove the dead PF_BORROWED_MM check
From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx>
use_mm() was changed to use switch_mm() instead of activate_mm(), since
then nobody calls (and nobody should call) activate_mm() with
PF_BORROWED_MM bit set.
As Jeff Dike pointed out, we can also remove the "old != new" check, it is
always true.
