     Subject: mm: rename cpu_bitmap field to flexible_array
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-rename-cpu_bitmap-field-to-flexible_array.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm: rename cpu_bitmap field to flexible_array
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2025 12:33:57 -0500

The cpu_bitmap flexible array now contains more than just the cpu_bitmap. 
In preparation for changing the static mm_struct definitions to cover for
the additional space required, change the cpu_bitmap type from "unsigned
long" to "char", require an unsigned long alignment of the flexible array,
and rename the field from "cpu_bitmap" to "flexible_array".

Introduce the MM_STRUCT_FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_INIT macro to statically initialize
the flexible array.  This covers the init_mm and efi_mm static
definitions.

This is a preparation step for fixing the missing mm_cid size for static
mm_struct definitions.
