The patch titled genirq: sem2mutex probe_sem -> probing_active has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is genirq-sem2mutex-probe_sem-probing_active.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: genirq: sem2mutex probe_sem -> probing_active From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Convert the irq auto-probing semaphore to a mutex. (This allows us to find probing API usage bugs sooner, via the mutex debugging code.)
