The patch titled
Subject: mm/compaction: remove rcu_read_lock during page compaction
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-compaction-remove-rcu_read_lock-during-page-compaction.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Alex Shi <alex.shi@linux.alibaba.com>
Subject: mm/compaction: remove rcu_read_lock during page compaction
isolate_migratepages_block() used rcu_read_lock() with the intention of
safeguarding against the mem_cgroup being destroyed concurrently; but its
TestClearPageLRU already protects against that. Delete the unnecessary
rcu_read_lock() and _unlock().
Hugh Dickins helped on commit log polishing, Thanks!
