The patch titled
Subject: mm, memory_hotplug: simplify empty node mask handling in new_node_page
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-memory_hotplug-simplify-empty-node-mask-handling-in-new_node_page.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm, memory_hotplug: simplify empty node mask handling in new_node_page
new_node_page tries to allocate the target page on a different NUMA node
than the source page. This makes sense in most cases during the hotplug
because we are likely to offline the whole numa node. But there are cases
where there are no other nodes to fallback (e.g. when offlining parts of
the only existing node) and we have to fallback to allocating from the
source node. The current code does that but it can be simplified by
checking the nmask and updating it before we even try to allocate rather
than special casing it.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional change.
