[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: maccess: return -ERANGE when probe_kernel_read() fails
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     maccess-return-erange-when-copy_from_kernel_nofault_allowed-fails.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Subject: maccess: return -ERANGE when probe_kernel_read() fails

Allow the callers to distinguish a real unmapped address vs a range
that can't be probed.
