The patch titled
Subject: ipc/util.c: use __seq_open_private() instead of seq_open()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
ipc-use-__seq_open_private-instead-of-seq_open.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Rob Jones <rob.jones@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: ipc/util.c: use __seq_open_private() instead of seq_open()
Using __seq_open_private() removes boilerplate code from
sysvipc_proc_open().
The resultant code is shorter and easier to follow.
However, please note that __seq_open_private() call kzalloc() rather than
kmalloc() which may affect timing due to the memory initialisation
overhead.
