The patch titled
Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
fix-potential-null-pointer-deref-in-gen_init_cpio.patch
This patch was probably dropped from -mm because
it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or
into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into
its parent patch in the -mm tree.
From: Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@xxxxxxxxx>
Fix potential NULL pointer deref in gen_init_cpio.c spotted by coverity
checker. This fixes coverity bug #86
Without this patch we risk dereferencing a NULL `type' in the
"if ('\n' == *type) {" line.
