The patch titled invert irq/migration.c brach prediction has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is invert-irq-migrationc-brach-prediction.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: invert irq/migration.c brach prediction From: Daniel Walker <dwalker@xxxxxxxxxx> If you get to that point in the code it means that desc->move_irq is set, pending_irq_cpumask[irq] and cpu_online_map should have a value. Still pretty good chance anding those two you'll still have a value. So these two branch predictors should be inverted.
