The patch titled
ksm: check for ERR_PTR from follow_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ksm-check-for-err_ptr-from-follow_page.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: ksm: check for ERR_PTR from follow_page()
From: Dan Carpenter <error27@xxxxxxxxx>
The follow_page() function can potentially return -EFAULT so I added
checks for this.
Also I silenced an uninitialized variable warning on my version of gcc
(version 4.3.2).
