The patch titled move memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was move-memory_read_from_buffer-from-fsh-to-stringh.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: move memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx> James Bottomley warns that inclusion of linux/fs.h in a low level driver was always a danger signal. This patch moves memory_read_from_buffer() from fs.h to string.h and fixes includes in existing memory_read_from_buffer() users.
