The patch titled Subject: maccess: remove duplicate kerneldoc comments has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was maccess-remove-duplicate-kerneldoc-comments.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: maccess: remove duplicate kerneldoc comments Many of the maccess routines have a copy of the kerneldoc comment in the header. Remove it as it is not useful and will get out of sync sooner or later.
