The patch titled
     Subject: page-flags: do not corrupt caller 'page' in PF_NO_TAIL
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     page-flags-introduce-page-flags-policies-wrt-compound-pages-fix.patch

This patch was dropped because it was folded into page-flags-introduce-page-flags-policies-wrt-compound-pages.patch

------------------------------------------------------
From: "Kirill A. Shutemov" <kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>
Subject: page-flags: do not corrupt caller 'page' in PF_NO_TAIL

Andrew noticed that PF_NO_TAIL() modifies caller's 'page'.  This doesn't
trigger any bad results, because all users are inline functions which
doesn't use the variable beyond the point.  But still not good.

The patch changes PF_NO_TAIL() to always return head page, regardless
'enforce'.  This makes operations of page flags with PF_NO_TAIL more
symmetrical: modifications and checks goes to head page.  It gives better
chance to recover in case of bug for non-DEBUG_VM kernel.

DEBUG_VM kernel will still trigger VM_BUG_ON() on modifications to tail
pages.
