     Subject: mm/percpu: drop unused max_upa in pcpu_build_alloc_info()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-percpu-drop-unused-max_upa-in-pcpu_build_alloc_info.patch

This patch was dropped because an alternative patch was or shall be merged

Subject: mm/percpu: drop unused max_upa in pcpu_build_alloc_info()
Date: Mon, 8 Dec 2025 17:26:27 +0800

pcpu_build_alloc_info() only needs the initial upa as the starting point
for the downward search.  Storing it in max_upa and reusing it adds no
value.  Iterate from upa directly to remove the redundant local variable
without changing behavior, improving readability.
