The patch titled
Subject: mm: improve comment on page->mapping
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-improve-comment-on-page-mapping.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@microsoft.com>
Subject: mm: improve comment on page->mapping
The comment on page->mapping is terse, and out of date (it does not
mention the possibility of PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE). Instead, point the
interested reader to page-flags.h where there is a much better comment.
