Why does that commit reference:
Fixes: 8900d06a277a ("mm/hmm: fix header file if/else/endif maze")

when there is no such commit in the tree?

I tried, but it does not apply cleanly:
$ p1 < ../mm-hmm-fix-header-file-if-else-endif-maze-again.patch
checking file include/linux/hmm.h
Hunk #1 FAILED at 376.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 498 (offset -52 lines).
1 out of 2 hunks FAILED

Am I missing some other commit that went in inbetween the above patches?

thanks,
