[merged] mm-fs-delete-pf_swapwrite.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/fs: delete PF_SWAPWRITE
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-fs-delete-pf_swapwrite.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Subject: mm/fs: delete PF_SWAPWRITE

PF_SWAPWRITE has been redundant since v3.2 commit ee72886d8ed5 ("mm:
vmscan: do not writeback filesystem pages in direct reclaim").

Coincidentally, NeilBrown's current patch "remove inode_congested()"
deletes may_write_to_inode(), which appeared to be the one function which
took notice of PF_SWAPWRITE.  But if you study the old logic, and the
conditions under which may_write_to_inode() was called, you discover that
flag and function have been pointless for a decade.
