The patch titled
Remove acpi_os_create_lock(), acpi_os_delete_lock()
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
remove-acpi_os_create_lock-acpi_os_delete_lock.patch
This patch was dropped because it was agreed to, but rejected by the maintainer(!)
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Remove acpi_os_create_lock(), acpi_os_delete_lock()
From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx>
Minimally intrusive patch to remove some overdesign in ACPI code. Based
on hch rant.
The only purpose of functions in question is to dynamically allocate one
global spinlock -- acpi_gbl_gpe_lock. Instead, create it in .bss.
It's tempting to shoot acpi_os_release_lock() et al too.
