The patch titled
Subject: netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
netvm-propagate-page-pfmemalloc-to-skb.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxx>
Subject: netvm: propagate page->pfmemalloc to skb
The skb->pfmemalloc flag gets set to true iff during the slab allocation
of data in __alloc_skb that the the PFMEMALLOC reserves were used. If the
packet is fragmented, it is possible that pages will be allocated from the
PFMEMALLOC reserve without propagating this information to the skb. This
patch propagates page->pfmemalloc from pages allocated for fragments to
the skb.
