The patch titled Subject: kernel/notifier.c: remove notifier_chain_cond_register() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-notifierc-remove-notifier_chain_cond_register.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/notifier.c: remove notifier_chain_cond_register() The only difference between notifier_chain_cond_register() and notifier_chain_register() is the lack of warning hints for duplicate registrations. Use notifier_chain_register() instead of notifier_chain_cond_register() to avoid duplicate code Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1568861888-34045-3-git-send-email-nixiaoming@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Xiaoming Ni <nixiaoming@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alan Stern <stern@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Anna Schumaker <anna.schumaker@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David S.
