The patch titled
include/linux/kfifo.h: fix INIT_KFIFO()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was

Subject: include/linux/kfifo.h: fix INIT_KFIFO()
From: David Härdeman <david@xxxxxxxxxxx>
DECLARE_KFIFO creates a union with a struct kfifo and a buffer array with
size [size + sizeof(struct kfifo)].
INIT_KFIFO then sets the buffer pointer in struct kfifo to point to the
beginning of the buffer array which means that the first call to kfifo_in
will overwrite members of the struct kfifo.
