The patch titled proc: remove trailing blank entry from pid_entry arrays has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-remove-trailing-blank-entry-from-pid_entry-arrays.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: proc: remove trailing blank entry from pid_entry arrays From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> It was pointed out that since I am taking ARRAY_SIZE anyway the trailing empty entry is silly and just wastes space. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
