The patch titled
Subject: memcg: fix mem_cgroup_print_bad_page
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memcg-fix-mem_cgroup_print_bad_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/

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: memcg: fix mem_cgroup_print_bad_page
If DEBUG_VM, mem_cgroup_print_bad_page() is called whenever bad_page()
shows a "Bad page state" message, removes page from circulation, adds a
taint and continues. This is at a very low level, often when a spinlock
is held (sometimes when page table lock is held, for example).
We want to recover from this badness, not make it worse: we must not
kmalloc memory here, we must not do a cgroup path lookup via dubious
pointers. No doubt that code was useful to debug a particular case at one
time, and may be again, but take it out of the mainline kernel.
