The patch titled Subject: mm: call cond_resched() from deferred_init_memmap() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-call-cond_resched-from-deferred_init_memmap.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Pavel Tatashin <pasha.tatashin@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: call cond_resched() from deferred_init_memmap() Now that deferred pages are initialized with interrupts enabled we can replace touch_nmi_watchdog() with cond_resched(), as it was before 3a2d7fa8a3d5. For now, we cannot do the same in deferred_grow_zone() as it is still initializes pages with interrupts disabled.
