The patch titled strstrip(): mark as as must_check has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was strstrip-mark-as-as-must_check.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: strstrip(): mark as as must_check From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> strstrip() can return a modified value of its input argument, when removing elading whitesapce. So it is surely bug for this function's return value to be ignored. The caller is probably going to use the incorrect original pointer. So mark it __must_check to prevent this frm happening (as it has before).
