The patch titled Subject: mm, devm_memremap_pages: mark devm_memremap_pages() EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-devm_memremap_pages-mark-devm_memremap_pages-export_symbol_gpl.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, devm_memremap_pages: mark devm_memremap_pages() EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL
devm_memremap_pages() is a facility that can create struct page entries for any arbitrary range and give drivers the ability to subvert core aspects of page management.
Specifically the facility is tightly integrated with the kernel's memory hotplug functionality. It injects an altmap argument deep into the architecture specific vmemmap implementation to allow allocating from specific reserved pages, and it has Linux specific assumptions about page structure reference counting relative to get_user_pages() and get_user_pages_fast(). It was an oversight and a mistake that this was not marked EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL from the outset.
Again, devm_memremap_pagex() exposes and relies upon core kernel internal assumptions and will continue to evolve along with 'struct page', memory hotplug, and support for new memory types / topologies. Only an in-kernel GPL-only driver is expected to keep up with this ongoing evolution. This interface, and functionality derived from this interface, is not suitable for kernel-external drivers.
