The patch titled Subject: proc: stop using seq_get_buf in proc_task_name has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is proc-stop-using-seq_get_buf-in-proc_task_name.patch This patch should soon appear at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/proc-stop-using-seq_get_buf-in-proc_task_name.patch and later at https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/proc-stop-using-seq_get_buf-in-proc_task_name.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: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: proc: stop using seq_get_buf in proc_task_name Use seq_escape_str and seq_printf instead of poking holes into the seq_file abstraction.
