The patch titled
Subject: mm/sparse: don't panic if the allocation in sparse_buffer_init fails
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
treewide-add-checks-for-the-return-value-of-memblock_alloc-fix-3.patch
This patch was dropped because it was folded into treewide-add-checks-for-the-return-value-of-memblock_alloc.patch
------------------------------------------------------
From: Mike Rapoport <rppt@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/sparse: don't panic if the allocation in sparse_buffer_init fails
Addition of panic if memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() call in
sparse_buffer_init() fails was over enthusiastic as the system is
perfectly capable to deal with that allocation failure. Remove the
panic().
