The patch titled Subject: fs/hfsplus/xattr.c: replace strncpy with memcpy has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was hfsplus-replace-strncpy-with-memcpy.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Mathieu Malaterre <malat@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/hfsplus/xattr.c: replace strncpy with memcpy strncpy() was used to copy a fixed size buffer. Since NUL-terminating string is not required here, prefer a memcpy function. The generated code (ppc32) remains the same.
