The patch titled random: simplify add_ptr logic has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was random-simplify-add_ptr-logic.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: random: simplify add_ptr logic From: Matt Mackall <mpm@xxxxxxxxxxx> The add_ptr variable wasn't used in a sensible way, use only i instead. i got reused later for a different purpose, use j instead. While we're here, put tap0 first in the tap list and add a comment.
