The patch titled
mm: no get_user/put_user while holding mmap_sem in do_pages_stat?
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-no-get_user-put_user-while-holding-mmap_sem-in-do_pages_stat.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm: no get_user/put_user while holding mmap_sem in do_pages_stat?
From: Brice Goglin <Brice.Goglin@xxxxxxxx>
Since commit 2f007e74bb85b9fc4eab28524052161703300f1a, do_pages_stat()
gets the page address from user-space and puts the corresponding status
back while holding the mmap_sem for read. There is no need to hold
mmap_sem there while some page-faults may occur.
This patch adds a temporary address and status buffer so as to only
hold mmap_sem while working on these kernel buffers. This is
implemented by extracting do_pages_stat_array() out of do_pages_stat().
