The patch titled
     mm: remove the might_sleep() from lock_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

This patch was dropped because I got tired of it

Subject: mm: remove the might_sleep() from lock_page()
From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Arjan reports that hwclock(8) likes to run pagefaults with local
interrupts disabled (via sys_iopl()), which causes scary warnings and
traces.

It's a bug in hwclock, but let's not worry people and create additional
bug reports.

(Also, adding a migt_sleep() to the inlined, 600-call-site lock_page()
wasn't a great idea.  A might_sleep() is pretty large.)
