The patch titled
Simplify module_get_kallsym() by dropping length arg
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
simplify-module_get_kallsym-by-dropping-length-arg.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Simplify module_get_kallsym() by dropping length arg
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxx>
module_get_kallsym() could in theory truncate module symbol name to fit in
buffer, but nobody does this. Always use KSYM_NAME_LEN + 1 bytes for name.
Suggested by lg^WRusty.
