Its filename is lib-vsprintfc-replace-while-with-do-while-in-skip_atoi.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/lib-vsprintfc-replace-while-with-do-while-in-skip_atoi.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/lib-vsprintfc-replace-while-with-do-while-in-skip_atoi.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/vsprintf.c: replace while with do-while in skip_atoi All callers of skip_atoi have already checked for the first character being a digit. In this case, gcc generates simpler code for a do while-loop.
