The patch titled
PERCPU : __percpu_alloc_mask() can dynamically size percpu_data storage
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
percpu-__percpu_alloc_mask-can-dynamically-size-percpu_data.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: PERCPU : __percpu_alloc_mask() can dynamically size percpu_data storage
From: Eric Dumazet <dada1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Instead of allocating a fix sized array of NR_CPUS pointers for percpu_data,
we can use nr_cpu_ids, which is generally < NR_CPUS.
