The patch titled Subject: ksm: reorganize ksm_check_stable_tree has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ksm-reorganize-ksm_check_stable_tree.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: ksm: reorganize ksm_check_stable_tree Memory hotremove's ksm_check_stable_tree() is pitifully inefficient (restarting whenever it finds a stale node to remove), but rearrange so that at least it does not needlessly restart from nid 0 each time. And add a couple of comments: here is why we keep pfn instead of page.
