The patch titled
     Subject: vfs: remove might_sleep() from clear_inode()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     vfs-remove-might_sleep-from-clear_inode.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com>
Subject: vfs: remove might_sleep() from clear_inode()

7994e6f72543 ("vfs: Move waiting for inode writeback from end_writeback()
to evict_inode()") removed inode_sync_wait() from end_writeback() and
commit dbd5768f87ff ("vfs: Rename end_writeback() to clear_inode()")
renamed end_writeback() to clear_inode().  After these patches there is no
sleeping operation in clear_inode().  So, remove might_sleep() from it.
