The patch titled Subject: mm: migrate: make buffer_migrate_page_norefs() actually succeed has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-migrate-make-buffer_migrate_page_norefs-actually-succeed.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------ From: Jan Kara jack@suse.cz Subject: mm: migrate: make buffer_migrate_page_norefs() actually succeed

Currently, buffer_migrate_page_norefs() was constantly failing because buffer_migrate_lock_buffers() grabbed reference on each buffer. In fact, there's no reason for buffer_migrate_lock_buffers() to grab any buffer references as the page is locked during all our operation and thus nobody can reclaim buffers from the page. So remove grabbing of buffer references which also makes buffer_migrate_page_norefs() succeed.
