The patch titled
Subject: mm: faster kmalloc_array(), kcalloc()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

------------------------------------------------------
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm: faster kmalloc_array(), kcalloc()
When both arguments to kmalloc_array() or kcalloc() are known at compile
time then their product is known at compile time but search for kmalloc
cache happens at runtime not at compile time.
