The quilt patch titled Subject: lib/string.c: simplify str[c]spn has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was lib-stringc-simplify-strspn.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-nonmm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm ------------------------------------------------------ From: Rasmus Villemoes <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/string.c: simplify str[c]spn Use strchr(), which makes them a lot shorter, and more obviously symmetric in their treatment of accept/reject. It also saves a little bit of .text; bloat-o-meter for an arm build says Function old new delta strcspn 92 76 -16 strspn 108 76 -32 While here, also remove a stray empty line before EXPORT_SYMBOL().
