The patch titled Subject: kernel/watchdog: change prototype of watchdog_nmi_enable() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-watchdog-change-prototype-of-watchdog_nmi_enable.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Pingfan Liu <kernelfans@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: kernel/watchdog: change prototype of watchdog_nmi_enable() The only caller does not handle the return value of watchdog_nmi_enable(). If there is an error, it seems to be reported by arch specific code. Hence change watchdog_nmi_enable() return value from int to void.
