The patch titled
Memory controller use rcu_read_lock() in mem_cgroup_cache_charge()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
memory-controller-use-rcu_read_lock-in-mem_cgroup_cache_charge.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: Memory controller use rcu_read_lock() in mem_cgroup_cache_charge()
From: Balbir Singh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hugh Dickins noticed that we were using rcu_dereference() without
rcu_read_lock() in the cache charging routine. The patch below fixes
this problem
