The patch titled Subject: lib-string_helpersc-fix-infinite-loop-in-string_get_size-v3 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was lib-string_helpersc-fix-infinite-loop-in-string_get_size-v3.patch This patch was dropped because it was folded into lib-string_helpersc-fix-infinite-loop-in-string_get_size.patch ------------------------------------------------------ From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib-string_helpersc-fix-infinite-loop-in-string_get_size-v3 Add a couple of simple tests for string_get_size(). The last one will hang the kernel without the 'lib/string_helpers.c: fix infinite loop in string_get_size()' fix.
