The patch titled Subject: tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: load module before testing for it has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was test_sysctl-load-module-before-testing-for-it.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: tools/testing/selftests/sysctl/sysctl.sh: load module before testing for it Currently the test script checks for the existence of the sysctl test module's directory path prior to loading it. We must first try to load the module prior to checking for that path. This fixes the order for the load / test.
