The patch titled
Subject: kernel.h: documentation for roundup() vs round_up()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kernelh-documentation-for-roundup-vs-round_up.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kernel.h: documentation for roundup() vs round_up()
Things like 3619dec5103d ("dh key: fix rounding up KDF output length")
expose the lack of explicit documentation for roundup() vs round_up(). At
least we can try to document it better if anyone goes looking.
