The patch titled Subject: lib/vsprintf.c: move sizeof(struct printf_spec) next to its definition has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was lib-vsprintfc-move-sizeofstruct-printf_spec-next-to-its-definition.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/vsprintf.c: move sizeof(struct printf_spec) next to its definition At the time of d0484193 ("lib/vsprintf.c: expand field_width to 24 bits"), there was no compiletime_assert/BUILD_BUG/.... variant that could be used outside function scope. Now we have static_assert(), so move the assertion next to the definition instead of hiding it in some arbitrary function. Also add the appropriate #include to avoid relying on build_bug.h being pulled in via some arbitrary chain of includes.
