The patch titled Subject: exec: simplify the copy_strings_kernel calling convention has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was exec-simplify-the-copy_strings_kernel-calling-convention.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: exec: simplify the copy_strings_kernel calling convention copy_strings_kernel is always used with a single argument, adjust the calling convention to that.
