The patch titled
Subject: mm/cma.c: warn if the CMA area could not be activated
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-cma-warn-if-the-cma-area-could-not-be-activated.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Anshuman Khandual <khandual@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/cma.c: warn if the CMA area could not be activated
While activating a CMA area we check to make sure that all the PFNs in the
range are inside the same zone. This is a requirement for
alloc_contig_range() to work. Any CMA area failing the check is disabled
for good. This happens silently right now making all future cma_alloc()
allocations failure inevitable.
Here we add an error message stating that the CMA area could not be
activated which makes it easier to explain any future cma_alloc() failures
on it. While in there, change the bail out goto label from 'err' to
'not_in_zone' which makes more sense.
