The patch titled
flex_array: add flex_array_shrink function
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
flex_array-add-flex_array_shrink-function.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: flex_array: add flex_array_shrink function
From: David Rientjes <rientjes@xxxxxxxxxx>
Add a new function to the flex_array API:
int flex_array_shrink(struct flex_array *fa)
This function will free all unused second-level pages. Since elements are
now poisoned if they are not allocated with __GFP_ZERO, it's possible to
identify parts that consist solely of unused elements.
flex_array_shrink() returns the number of pages freed.
