The patch titled Subject: checkpatch: check for common memset parameter issues against statments has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was checkpatch-check-for-common-memset-parameter-issues-against-statments.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/ ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: checkpatch: check for common memset parameter issues against statments Move the memset checks over to work against the statement. Also add checks for 0 and 1 used as lengths. Generally these indicate badly ordered parameters.
