The patch titled
     Subject: mm/vmalloc: reparate put pages and flush VM flags
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-vmalloc-separate-put-pages-and-flush-vm-flags.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
Subject: mm/vmalloc: reparate put pages and flush VM flags

When VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES was added, it was defined with the same value as
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS.  This doesn't seem like it will cause any big
functional problems other than some excess flushing for VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES
allocations.

Redefine VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES to have its own value.  Also, move the comment
and remove whitespace for VM_KASAN such that the flags lower down are less
likely to be missed in the future.
