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.
