The patch titled Subject: rtsx_usb_ms: Use msleep_interruptible() in polling loop has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was rtsx_usb_ms-use-msleep_interruptible-in-polling-loop.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Ben Hutchings <ben@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: rtsx_usb_ms: Use msleep_interruptible() in polling loop rtsx_usb_ms creates a task that mostly sleeps, but tasks in uninterruptible sleep still contribute to the load average (for bug-compatibility with Unix). A load average of ~1 on a system that should be idle is somewhat alarming. Change the sleep to be interruptible, but still ignore signals. A better fix might be to replace this loop with a delayed work item.
