[merged] mm-warn-on-deleting-redirtied-only-if-accounted.patch removed from -mm tree

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

The patch titled
     Subject: mm: warn on deleting redirtied only if accounted
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-warn-on-deleting-redirtied-only-if-accounted.patch

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

From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>
Subject: mm: warn on deleting redirtied only if accounted

filemap_unaccount_folio() has a WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_dirty(folio)).  It
is good to warn of late dirtying on a persistent filesystem, but late
dirtying on tmpfs can only lose data which is expected to be thrown away;
and it's a pity if that warning comes ONCE on tmpfs, then hides others
which really matter.  Make it conditional on mapping_cap_writeback().

Cleanup: then folio_account_cleaned() no longer needs to check that for
itself, and so no longer needs to know the mapping.
