The patch titled
Subject: lib/find_bit_benchmark.c: avoid soft lockup in test_find_first_bit()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
lib-avoid-soft-lockup-in-test_find_first_bit.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Yury Norov <ynorov@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/find_bit_benchmark.c: avoid soft lockup in test_find_first_bit()
test_find_first_bit() is intentionally sub-optimal, and may cause soft
lockup due to long time of run on some systems. So decrease length of
bitmap to traverse to avoid lockup.
With the change below, time of test execution doesn't exceed 0.2 seconds
on my testing system.
