The patch titled Subject: hugetlb: remove prev_vma from hugetlb_get_unmapped_area_topdown() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hugetlb-drop-prev_vma-in-hugetlb_get_unmapped_area_topdown.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: Xiao Guangrong <xiaoguangrong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: hugetlb: remove prev_vma from hugetlb_get_unmapped_area_topdown() After looking up the vma which covers or follows the cached search address, the following condition is always true: !prev_vma || (addr >= prev_vma->vm_end) so we can stop checking the previous VMA altogether.
