The patch titled
     mm,compaction: map free pages in the address space after they get split for compaction
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-compaction-memory-compaction-core-map-free-pages-in-the-address-space-after-they-get-split-for-compaction.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: mm,compaction: map free pages in the address space after they get split for compaction
From: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>

split_free_page() is a helper function which takes a free page from the
buddy lists and splits it into order-0 pages.  It is used by memory
compaction to build a list of destination pages.  If
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is set, a kernel paging request bug is triggered
because split_free_page() did not call the arch-allocation hooks or map
the page into the kernel address space.

This patch does not update split_free_page() as it is called with
interrupts held.  Instead it documents that callers of split_free_page()
are responsible for calling the arch hooks and to map the page and fixes
compaction.

This is a fix to the patch mm-compaction-memory-compaction-core.patch.
