The patch titled s390: exploit rcu_needs_cpu() interface has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is s390-exploit-rcu_needs_cpu-interface.patch This patch was probably dropped from -mm because it has now been merged into a subsystem tree or into Linus's tree, or because it was folded into its parent patch in the -mm tree.
