[to-be-updated] mm-memoryc-allow-different-return-codes-for-copy_nonpresent_pte.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/memory.c: allow different return codes for copy_nonpresent_pte()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-memoryc-allow-different-return-codes-for-copy_nonpresent_pte.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>
Subject: mm/memory.c: allow different return codes for copy_nonpresent_pte()

Currently if copy_nonpresent_pte() returns a non-zero value it is assumed
to be a swap entry which requires further processing outside the loop in
copy_pte_range() after dropping locks.  This prevents other values being
returned to signal conditions such as failure which a subsequent change
requires.

Instead make copy_nonpresent_pte() return an error code if further
processing is required and read the value for the swap entry in the main
loop under the ptl.
