The patch titled
add argv_split()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
add-argv_split.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: add argv_split()
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xxxxxxxx>
argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector. This is deliberately
simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.
[ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
steal or replace. Keep an eye out. ]
