The patch titled
     fix the max path calculation in radix-tree.c
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fix-the-max-path-calculation-in-radix-treec.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: fix the max path calculation in radix-tree.c
From: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@xxxxxxxxxx>

A while back, Nick Piggin introduced a patch to reduce the node memory
usage for small files (commit cfd9b7df4abd3257c9e381b0e445817b26a51c0c):

-#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT	6
+#define RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT	(CONFIG_BASE_SMALL ? 4 : 6)

Unfortunately, he didn't take into account the fact that the
calculation of the maximum path was based on an assumption of having
to round up:

#define RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH (RADIX_TREE_INDEX_BITS/RADIX_TREE_MAP_SHIFT + 2)

So, if CONFIG_BASE_SMALL is set, you will end up with a
RADIX_TREE_MAX_PATH that is one greater than necessary.  The practical
upshot of this is just a bit of wasted memory (one long in the
height_to_maxindex array, an extra pre-allocated radix tree node per
cpu, and extra stack usage in a couple of functions), but it seems
worth getting right.

It's also worth noting that I never build with CONFIG_BASE_SMALL.
What I did to test this was duplicate the code in a small user-space
program and check the results of the calculations for max path and the
contents of the height_to_maxindex array.
