The patch titled prevent dereferencing non-allocated per_cpu variables has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-prevent-dereferencing-non-allocated-per_cpu-variables.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: prevent dereferencing non-allocated per_cpu variables From: Mike Travis <travis@xxxxxxx> Change loops controlled by 'for (i = 0; i < NR_CPUS; i++)' to use 'for_each_possible_cpu(i)' when there's a _remote possibility_ of dereferencing a non-allocated per_cpu variable involved. All files except mm/vmstat.c are x86 arch. Thanks to pageexec@xxxxxxxxxxx for pointing this out.
