The quilt patch titled
     Subject: mm: multi-gen LRU: section for rmap/PT walk feedback
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-multi-gen-lru-section-for-rmap-pt-walk-feedback.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

+Rmap/PT walk feedback
+---------------------
+Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test
+and clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from
+different VMAs (PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA
+space). For workloads mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap
+can incur the highest CPU cost in the reclaim path.
+
+``lru_gen_look_around()`` exploits spatial locality to reduce the
+trips into the rmap. It scans the adjacent PTEs of a young PTE and
+promotes hot pages. If the scan was done cacheline efficiently, it
+adds the PMD entry pointing to the PTE table to the Bloom filter. This
+forms a feedback loop between the eviction and the aging.
