The patch titled Subject: netconsole: make all dynamic netconsoles share a mutex has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was netconsole-make-all-dynamic-netconsoles-share-a-mutex.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: netconsole: make all dynamic netconsoles share a mutex Currently, each dynamic netconsole_target uses its own separate mutex to synchronize the configuration operations. This patch replaces the per-netconsole_target mutexes with a single mutex - dynamic_netconsole_mutex. The reduced granularity doesn't hurt anything, the code is minutely simpler and this'd allow adding operations which should be synchronized across all dynamic netconsoles.
