The patch titled Subject: epoll: loosen irq safety in ep_poll_callback() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was epoll-loosen-irq-safety-in-ep_poll_callback.patch This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn ------------------------------------------------------ From: Roman Penyaev <rpenyaev@xxxxxxx> Subject: epoll: loosen irq safety in ep_poll_callback() Callers of the ep_poll_callback() (all set of wake_up_*poll()) disable interrupts, so no need to save/restore irq flags.
