[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm: fix page reference leak in soft_offline_page()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-fix-page-reference-leak-in-soft_offline_page.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>
Subject: mm: fix page reference leak in soft_offline_page()

The conversion to move pfn_to_online_page() internal to
soft_offline_page() missed that the get_user_pages() reference taken by
the madvise() path needs to be dropped when pfn_to_online_page() fails. 
Note the direct sysfs-path to soft_offline_page() does not perform a
get_user_pages() lookup.

When soft_offline_page() is handed a pfn_valid() && !pfn_to_online_page()
pfn the kernel hangs at dax-device shutdown due to a leaked reference.
