The patch titled Subject: vmscan: use atomic-long for shrinker batching has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was vmscan-use-atomic-long-for-shrinker-batching.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/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: vmscan: use atomic-long for shrinker batching Use atomic-long operations instead of looping around cmpxchg().
