The patch titled net/sunrpc/svcsock.c: don't print uninitialised string has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was net-sunrpc-svcsockc-dont-print-uninitialised-string.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: net/sunrpc/svcsock.c: don't print uninitialised string From: Wolfgang Walter <wolfgang.walter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Random characters are printed by svc_tcp_accept: lockd: last TCP connect from <some random chars> because buf is used unitialized: printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: last TCP connect from %s\n", serv->sv_name, buf); Probably it should be printk(KERN_NOTICE "%s: last TCP connect from %s\n", serv->sv_name, __svc_print_addr(sin, buf, sizeof(buf))); Cc: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "J.
