The patch titled Subject: exec: increase BINPRM_BUF_SIZE to 256 has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was exec-increase-binprm_buf_size-to-256.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: exec: increase BINPRM_BUF_SIZE to 256 Large enterprise clients often run applications out of networked file systems where the IT mandated layout of project volumes can end up leading to paths that are longer than 128 characters. Bumping this up to the next order of two solves this problem in all but the most egregious case while still fitting into a 512b slab.
