The patch titled
     Subject: mm: remove PFN_MAP, PFN_SPECIAL, PFN_SG_CHAIN and PFN_SG_LAST
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     mm-remove-pfn_map-pfn_special-pfn_sg_chain-and-pfn_sg_last.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/mm-remove-pfn_map-pfn_special-pfn_sg_chain-and-pfn_sg_last.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

Subject: mm: remove PFN_MAP, PFN_SPECIAL, PFN_SG_CHAIN and PFN_SG_LAST
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2025 13:21:45 +1000

The PFN_MAP flag is no longer used for anything, so remove it.  The
PFN_SG_CHAIN and PFN_SG_LAST flags never appear to have been used so also
remove them.  The last user of PFN_SPECIAL was removed by 653d7825c149
("dcssblk: mark DAX broken, remove FS_DAX_LIMITED support").
