The patch titled
Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: halve the number of comparisons performed in pcpu_get_vm_areas()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-vmalloc-reduce-half-comparison-during-pcpu_get_vm_areas.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Wei Yang <richard.weiyang@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/vmalloc.c: halve the number of comparisons performed in pcpu_get_vm_areas()
In pcpu_get_vm_areas(), it checks each range is not overlapped. To make
sure it is, only (N^2)/2 comparison is necessary, while current code does
N^2 times. By starting from the next range, it achieves the goal and the
continue could be removed.
Also,
- the overlap check of two ranges could be done with one clause
- one typo in comment is fixed.
