The patch titled acpi: fix single linked list manipulation has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is acpi-fix-single-linked-list-manipulation.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: acpi: fix single linked list manipulation From: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@xxxxxxxxx> Fix single linked list manipulation for sub_driver. If the remving entry is not on the head of the sub_driver list, it goes into infinate loop. Though that infinite loop doesn't happen. Because the only user of acpi_pci_register_dirver() is acpiphp.
