The patch titled Subject: fs/binfmt_elf: refactor load_elf_binary function has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-binfmt_elf-refactor-load_elf_binary-function.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Akira Kawata <akirakawata1@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/binfmt_elf: refactor load_elf_binary function I delete load_addr because it is not used anymore. And I rename load_addr_set to first_pt_load because it is used only to capture the first iteration of the loop.
