Message-ID: <20261007004900.DBDF41F0089B@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)
The quilt patch titled
Subject: selftests/mm: khugepaged: remove str_dup() usage
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
selftests-mm-khugepaged-remove-str_dup-usage.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: selftests/mm: khugepaged: remove str_dup() usage
Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2026 13:20:59 +0200
We don't check str_dup() return value and never free it. While both
things are irrelevant in practice, let's just clean it up by working on
argv[0] directly and avoiding the str_dup().
Nobody after us needs these parts of the argv[0] string anyway.
This patch is inspired by previous work from Anshuman Tewari [1].
