[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: lib/zlib: DFLTCC always switch to software inflate for Z_PACKET_FLUSH option
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     lib-zlib-dfltcc-always-switch-to-software-inflate-for-z_packet_flush-option.patch

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

Since hardware inflate does not support Z_PACKET_FLUSH option (used
exclusively by kernel PPP driver), always switch to software like we
already do for Z_BLOCK flush option.  Without this patch, PPP might get
Z_DATA_ERROR return code from zlib_inflate() and disable zlib compression
for the packets.
