The patch titled
Subject: mm/thp: do not wait for lock_page() in deferred_split_scan()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/thp: do not wait for lock_page() in deferred_split_scan()
deferred_split_scan() gets called from reclaim path. Waiting for page
lock may lead to deadlock there.
Replace lock_page() with trylock_page() and skip the page if we failed to
lock it. We will get to the page on the next scan.
