The patch titled Subject: watchdog: implement error handling in update_watchdog_all_cpus() and callers has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was watchdog-implement-error-handling-in-update_watchdog_all_cpus-and-callers.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: watchdog: implement error handling in update_watchdog_all_cpus() and callers update_watchdog_all_cpus() now passes errors from watchdog_park_threads() up to functions in the call chain. This allows watchdog_enable_all_cpus() and proc_watchdog_update() to handle such errors too.
