The patch titled Subject: linux/kernel.h: use 'short' to define USHRT_MAX, SHRT_MAX, SHRT_MIN has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was linux-kernelh-use-short-to-define-ushrt_max-shrt_max-shrt_min.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: linux/kernel.h: use 'short' to define USHRT_MAX, SHRT_MAX, SHRT_MIN The commit log of 44f564a4bf6a ("ipc: add definitions of USHORT_MAX and others") did not explain why it used (s16) and (u16) instead of (short) and (unsigned short). Let's use (short) and (unsigned short), which is more sensible, and more consistent with the other MAX/MIN defines. As you see in include/uapi/asm-generic/int-ll64.h, s16/u16 are typedef'ed as signed/unsigned short. So, this commit does not have a functional change. Remove the unneeded parentheses around ~0U while we are here.
