The patch titled
     Subject: kthread: mark timer used by delayed kthread works as IRQ safe
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     kthread-mark-timer-used-by-delayed-kthread-works-as-irq-safe.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Petr Mladek <pmladek@xxxxxxxx>
Subject: kthread: mark timer used by delayed kthread works as IRQ safe

The timer used by delayed kthread works are IRQ safe because the used
kthread_delayed_work_timer_fn() is IRQ safe.

It is properly marked when initialized by KTHREAD_DELAYED_WORK_INIT(). 
But TIMER_IRQSAFE flag is missing when initialized by
kthread_init_delayed_work().

The missing flag might trigger invalid warning from del_timer_sync() when
kthread_mod_delayed_work() is called with interrupts disabled.

This patch is result of a discussion about using the API, see
