The patch titled

has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ipc-sem-use-kvmalloc-for-sem_undo-allocation.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

From: Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com>
Subject: ipc sem: use kvmalloc for sem_undo allocation
Patch series "ipc: allocations cleanup", v2.
Some ipc objects use the wrong allocation functions: small objects can use
kmalloc(), and vice versa, potentially large objects can use kmalloc().
This patch (of 2):
Size of sem_undo can exceed one page and with the maximum possible nsems =
32000 it can grow up to 64Kb. Let's switch its allocation to kvmalloc to
avoid user-triggered disruptive actions like OOM killer in case of
high-order memory shortage.
User triggerable high order allocations are quite a problem on heavily
fragmented systems. They can be a DoS vector.
