The patch titled Subject: proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was proc-avoid-extra-pde_put-in-proc_fill_super.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Maxim Patlasov <mpatlasov@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super() If proc_get_inode() succeeded, but d_make_root() failed, pde_put() for proc_root will be called twice: the first time due to iput() called from d_make_root() and the second time directly in the end of proc_fill_super().
