Its filename was mm-mmap-remove-unnecessary-local-variable.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Adrian Huang <ahuang12@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/mmap.c: remove unnecessary local variable The local variable 'retval' is assigned just for once in __do_sys_brk(), and the function returns the value of the local variable right after the assignment. Remove unnecessary assignment and local variable declaration.
