[merged] mm-page_alloc-fail-has_unmovable_pages-when-seeing-reserved-pages.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm, page_alloc: fail has_unmovable_pages when seeing reserved pages
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-page_alloc-fail-has_unmovable_pages-when-seeing-reserved-pages.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
Subject: mm, page_alloc: fail has_unmovable_pages when seeing reserved pages

Reserved pages should be completely ignored by the core mm because they
have a special meaning for their owners.  has_unmovable_pages doesn't
check those so we rely on other tests (reference count, or PageLRU) to
fail on such pages.  Althought this happens to work it is safer to simply
check for those explicitly and do not rely on the owner of the page to
abuse those fields for special purposes.

Please note that this is more of a further fortification of the code
rahter than a fix of an existing issue.
