The patch titled
Add DocBook documentation for workqueue functions
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is
add-docbook-documentation-for-workqueue-functions.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Add DocBook documentation for workqueue functions
From: Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@xxxxxxxxx>
kernel/workqueue.c was omitted from generating kernel documentation. This
adds a new section "Workqueues and Kevents" and adds documentation for some
of the functions.
Some functions in this file already had DocBook-style comments, now they
finally become visible.
