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.
Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's
*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

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").
