The patch titled
     Subject: mm: unify checks in alloc_pages_node() and __alloc_pages_node()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-unify-checks-in-alloc_pages_node-and-__alloc_pages_node.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
From: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: unify checks in alloc_pages_node() and __alloc_pages_node()

Perform the same debug checks in alloc_pages_node() as are done in
__alloc_pages_node(), by making the former function a wrapper of the
latter one.

In addition to better diagnostics in DEBUG_VM builds for situations which
have been already fatal (e.g.  out-of-bounds node id), there are two
visible changes for potential existing buggy callers of
alloc_pages_node():

- calling alloc_pages_node() with any negative nid (e.g. due to arithmetic
  overflow) was treated as passing NUMA_NO_NODE and fallback to local node was
  applied. This will now be fatal.
- calling alloc_pages_node() with an offline node will now be checked for
  DEBUG_VM builds. Since it's not fatal if the node has been previously online,
  and this patch may expose some existing buggy callers, change the VM_BUG_ON
  in __alloc_pages_node() to VM_WARN_ON.
