The patch titled
Subject: mm: page_idle_get_page() does not need lru_lock
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-page_idle_get_page-does-not-need-lru_lock.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Subject: mm: page_idle_get_page() does not need lru_lock
It is necessary for page_idle_get_page() to recheck PageLRU() after
get_page_unless_zero(), but holding lru_lock around that serves no useful
purpose, and adds to lru_lock contention: delete it.
See https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20150504031722.GA2768@blaptop for the
discussion that led to lru_lock there; but __page_set_anon_rmap() now uses
WRITE_ONCE(), and I see no other risk in page_idle_clear_pte_refs() using
rmap_walk() (beyond the risk of racing PageAnon->PageKsm, mostly but not
entirely prevented by page_count() check in ksm.c's write_protect_page():
that risk being shared with page_referenced() and not helped by lru_lock).
