The patch titled
     fsnotify: initialize mask in fsnotify_perm
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fsnotify-initialize-mask-in-fsnotify_perm.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: fsnotify: initialize mask in fsnotify_perm
From: Eric Paris <eparis@redhat.com>

akpm got a warning the fsnotify_mask could be used uninitialized in
fsnotify_perm().  It's not actually possible but his compiler complained
about it.  This patch just initializes it to 0 to shut up the compiler.
