The patch titled
     Subject: mm/hugetlb: initialize order with UINT_MAX in dissolve_free_huge_pages()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-hugetlb-initialize-order-with-uint_max-in-dissolve_free_huge_pages.patch

This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged

------------------------------------------------------
From: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/hugetlb: initialize order with UINT_MAX in dissolve_free_huge_pages()

Currently the initial value of order in dissolve_free_huge_page is 64 or
32, which leads to the following warning in static checker:

  mm/hugetlb.c:1203 dissolve_free_huge_pages()
  warn: potential right shift more than type allows '9,18,64'

This is a potential risk of infinite loop, because 1 << order (== 0)
is used in for-loop like this:

  for (pfn =3D start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn +=3D 1 << order)
      ...

So this patch simply avoids the risk by initializing with UINT_MAX.

Fixes: c8721bbbdd36 ("mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage")
