The patch titled Subject: seq_file: convert seq_escape() to use seq_escape_str() has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is seq_file-convert-seq_escape-to-use-seq_escape_str.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/seq_file-convert-seq_escape-to-use-seq_escape_str.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/seq_file-convert-seq_escape-to-use-seq_escape_str.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: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: seq_file: convert seq_escape() to use seq_escape_str() Convert seq_escape() to use seq_escape_str() rather than open coding it. Note, for now we leave it as an exported symbol due to some old code that can't tolerate ctype.h being (indirectly) included.
