The patch titled Subject: lib/test_vmalloc.c:test_func(): eliminate local `ret' has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is lib-test_vmallocc-test_func-eliminate-local-ret.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/lib-test_vmallocc-test_func-eliminate-local-ret.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/lib-test_vmallocc-test_func-eliminate-local-ret.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/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/test_vmalloc.c:test_func(): eliminate local `ret' Local 'ret' is unneeded and was poorly named: the variable `ret' generally means the "the value which this function will return".
